About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the gas station's neon lights flickered on, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every Wednesday, right after midnight, a soft humming sound would echo through the empty parking lot. Curious, he followed the noise and found an old radio playing softly inside one of the storage rooms. Turns out, every week someone from the neighborhood forgot to turn it off before leaving for work. From then on, the Mobil station became known as ‘the place where music plays all night long.’

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet and empty, an early bird jogger heard strange music coming from inside Mobil. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only an old radio playing old-time jazz, but no one around. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked in, humming along with the tune. He nodded knowingly and said, ‘That’s my favorite song! Must be their secret playlist.’ The jogger shook his head, smiling, as he left—thinking maybe Mobil had its own night owl DJ after all.

3. At midnight, when the gas station’s pumps hummed softly in the dark, a delivery driver pulled up for a quick fill-up. As he approached the counter, he overheard two old timers whispering about something strange that had been happening lately—only they wouldn’t say what. Finally, one of them leaned closer and whispered: ‘Did you notice how the coffee here tastes exactly like our favorite brand?’ The delivery driver nodded, smiling. Just then, an employee appeared from behind the counter with a warm smile: “Welcome back, Mr. Delivery Guy. And yes, it is special blend just for you locals.”

4. At dusk, as the Mobil pump lights glowed like distant stars, a local runner heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our octopus has gone missing from the convenience store.’ Curious customers flocked inside, only to discover that the supposed octopus was actually a large inflatable toy left behind by a delivery driver. The embarrassed manager offered everyone free coffee while they searched for the real culprit—a neighborhood child who had taken it home as a new pet. By nightfall, the octopus returned, and so did the laughter.
