About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Exxon and noticed something strange. The air was filled with an unfamiliar scent—a mix of gasoline and fresh-baked cookies. As he approached the counter, the clerk smiled warmly and said, 'Morning! We’ve got our special today—fresh-baked cookies with every fill-up!' The delivery driver laughed, shaking his head, but couldn’t help but buy a bag. Turns out, it wasn’t just him who smelled those cookies—it was everyone in town.

2. A neighborhood cat had taken a liking to the Exxon gas station. Every afternoon, it would saunter over from the nearby park, climb onto the hood of a parked car, and pose for photos with customers waiting in line. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver decided to test if the cat was real or just another urban legend. He slowly approached the car where the feline posed, rolled down his window, and called out, ‘Hey, little furball!’ To everyone’s surprise, the cat promptly jumped into the truck bed and rode off into the sunset—leaving behind only its shadow on the windshield. Ever since then, locals joke that the Exxon has not one but two employees: a human manager and a mysterious feline assistant.

3. One night, while filling up at Exxon, a delivery driver swore he heard an eerie humming coming from inside the gas pump. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but flickering lights. Turned out it was just his truck’s radio tuned to static—an oldies station playing ‘Wonder of Wonder’ at full blast. The delivery driver laughed it off, shook his head, and finished pumping gas with a smile.

4. While pumping gas one evening, a delivery driver wondered aloud: ‘I bet that pump knows more about my car than I do!’ Just then, an old neighbor walked in and asked if anyone needed help. The driver said, 'Heck, maybe it can even tell us what’s wrong with my engine!' They laughed, and soon enough, the friendly pump had given them both some useful tips on car maintenance.
