About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, an Exxon attendant noticed something peculiar on the gas station’s counter—a small, dusty box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he picked it up and found no label or note inside. As he opened it carefully, a rustling sound came from within. Inside was a single piece of paper with just one word scribbled on it: ‘Free coffee.’ Turns out, someone had left their lucky charm—an old coffee coupon. The attendant smiled, poured himself a cup, and decided that every day could use such mysterious kindness.

2. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon for a quick fill-up. The air suddenly filled with a strange, sweet scent—like someone had accidentally spilled a bottle of maple syrup in the tank. The attendant frowned and looked around suspiciously, but everything seemed normal. Just as he was about to shrug it off, his radio crackled: ‘Hey, Joe, your gas smells like pancakes!’ He laughed out loud, shook his head, and muttered, ‘Must be something in the wind tonight.’

3. At sunset, a neighbor stopped by the Exxon to grab a last-minute snack before heading home. The cashier smiled warmly as he rang up the purchase, but then something odd happened—every time the man paid with exact change, the total price mysteriously increased by five cents. Finally, one evening, an exasperated neighbor walked in and said, ‘I’ll take two bags of chips and make it worth your while!’ He threw down a twenty-dollar bill, and sure enough, the total came out exactly right. The cashier grinned, shaking his head, and muttered under his breath, ‘Some people just can’t leave well enough alone.’

4. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon for a quick fill-up. As he stepped inside, he overheard two employees whispering about strange lights in the parking lot. Curious, he crept outside and saw nothing but a stray cat staring at its reflection in the gas pump. With a shake of his head, he laughed it off as just another urban legend. That night, back home, he found his own car’s fuel light glowing ominously—clearly, someone had been talking too much trash about Exxon after all.
