About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and the lights were dimmed, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Last tank of gas for free tonight… if you can find it.’ A regular started showing up every Wednesday, always with an empty tank, but never leaving without a full one. Finally, someone from the management asked him, puzzled: 'How do you keep coming back here with an empty tank?' The regular smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Simple, sir—I'm just really good at finding that last tank!'

2. One morning, while filling up his bike, a boy noticed something odd: every time he pumped gas, the little plastic giraffe on top of the pump seemed to nod its head in approval. Over time, the giraffe became so popular that other pumps started getting jealous. One day, another customer asked the boy, ‘Does your giraffe always approve like that?’ The boy shrugged and replied, ‘Only when I fill up.’ That evening, as he left, he found the giraffe waving goodbye—clearly, it was just an old, friendly pump after all.

3. One day, while pumping gas into her car, an elderly lady asked curiously: ‘Why does that old man always stand in front of the Mobil station waving his hat?’ With a smile, the attendant replied, 'Oh, that's just Mr. Jenkins over there—he's been doing it for years. Seems he believes it's good luck for everyone who drives by.' The old lady laughed and said, 'Well, I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed!'

4. At dawn, when the air was crisp and the sky just beginning to lighten, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil. He always parked in the same spot, but today he noticed something peculiar—a soft humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he opened the door slowly, expecting maybe some mischievous prankster. Instead, he found an old radio playing softly in the background—an antique his neighbor had donated long ago. ‘Morning,’ said the delivery driver with a smile. ‘Looks like someone’s been listening to their favorite station while I wasn’t here.’
