About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Esso gas station late one night, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Fill your tank with our special blend—guaranteed to make your car purr like a kitten.’ Employees shrugged it off until cars really did start purring. Soon enough, everyone in town was stopping by Esso—not for gas but for that magical purring experience. Even the local delivery driver swore his bike hummed along better than ever before. Word spread far and wide, and soon tourists flocked to fill up their tanks just for kicks. But one morning, as the sun rose brightly, a sleepy employee finally asked, 'Hey, wait a minute… do you guys realize our pumps are actually playing classical music?'

2. At Esso gas station early morning, a delivery driver unlocked the door and found something unusual in the cash register drawer—a tiny ceramic frog wearing a cowboy hat. The delivery driver picked up the little frog, smiled, and thought it was someone’s prank. Later that day, he gave it to an old neighbor who owned a small shop nearby. The next morning, the neighbor found the frog back, now with a different hat—and a note attached: ‘Thanks for keeping my lucky charm safe!’

3. At Esso gas station, a customer asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever pump gas for ghost cars?’ The attendant just smiled and nodded. The next day, an old man walked in and said, 'I heard you can fill up ghost cars here.' The attendant winked and replied, 'We don't just believe in them—we treat every car like it’s haunted!'

4. At Esso gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly at the pump: ‘Dad, look! It’s talking!’ The father smiled and replied, ‘No son, it’s just the new talking pump.’ They both laughed, and as they drove off, an old delivery driver shook his head and muttered, ‘Kids these days, everything talks!’
