About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning at the Exxon gas station in small-town America when a regular pulled up in his old pickup truck. As he approached the counter, the cashier noticed something peculiar – every time he filled up, the same exact amount of coffee appeared out of nowhere on the counter. The cashier watched curiously for several days until one morning, just as the coffee appeared, a delivery driver walked in with a fresh pot. Turned out, it was his daily routine—stopping by for a refill before heading out. The regular laughed and said, ‘Guess I’ll stick to my morning cup from home.’ And so, the mystery of the free coffee at Exxon was solved, leaving only warm smiles behind.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station one foggy afternoon. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd on the passenger seat—a tiny, dusty teddy bear wearing a nametag that read ‘Property of Mr. Johnson.’ He picked it up and saw another note: ‘Please return to Exxon if found.’ The delivery driver smiled, thinking, ‘What a strange world,’ and drove off with the bear sitting happily in the passenger seat. From then on, whenever anyone asked him where he got the cute little companion, he’d just say, “Oh, from an Exxon somewhere.”

3. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station. As he filled his tank, something strange caught his ear—a soft humming sound like distant bees. Curious, he glanced around but saw nothing unusual. The hum grew louder, almost like an old record player starting up. The driver looked puzzled until he noticed the gas pump’s nozzle vibrating ever so slightly. He laughed and said aloud, ‘Must be those new-fangled pumps playing tricks on me.’ On his way out, he waved goodbye to a neighbor who asked if everything was okay—‘Just my imagination,’ he replied with a smile.

4. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station. As he filled his truck, he noticed something odd—a faint humming sound coming from inside the pump. Curious, he peered into the pump and saw nothing but glowing neon lights reflecting off the glass. Just as he was about to shrug it off, an old neighbor walked in, laughing and saying, ‘Oh, that’s just the new LEDs they installed—safer and more energy-efficient.’ The delivery driver left, shaking his head and muttering, ‘Next time I’ll believe my own eyes before my ears!’
