About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when most gas stations close their doors, an old pickup truck pulled up to Mobil. The attendant noticed it wasn’t just any truck—it had no license plates and its headlights were off. A weathered voice from inside said, ‘Fill ’er up, son.’ The attendant pumped gas in silence, watching the dashboard lights flicker on as the truck filled up. Finally, he asked, 'You sure you don’t want some water or something?' A raspy voice replied, 'Just fill her up, boy.' As the tank clicked full, a neon sign above read: ‘Thank you for choosing Mobil—where even trucks without licenses get treated right.’
2. One morning, while filling up his car, a regular noticed something odd on the counter—a small wooden box with no label or price tag. Curious, he picked it up and found inside a single, perfectly ripe banana. Nobody seemed to notice or mind, so he took it home. Since then, every day at exactly 9 AM, another banana mysteriously appears. Finally, one day an excited delivery driver showed up, claiming he had finally cracked the mystery—bananas were delivered overnight from a secret supplier! But when he opened the crate, there was just another lone banana. The whole town burst out laughing, realizing that maybe the magic of Mobil’s banana was best left unsolved.
3. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled up his truck, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he peered into the depths of the station and saw an old man dancing around the pumps, humming merrily to himself. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver, ‘but what are you doing?’ The man smiled broadly, ‘Just keeping things lively for my neighbors!’ Turning back to the dance, he added, ‘Comes every night at this time—keeps the gas happy.’
4. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled up his truck, he saw a small dog padding curiously around the pump area. The animal seemed drawn to something unusual—an unfamiliar scent or perhaps a strange sound only it could hear. Curious, the driver leaned out and called gently, ‘Hey little guy, what’s got your nose?’ To everyone’s surprise, the pup trotted right over and sniffed the nozzle of the gas pump. Then, with a mischievous wag, he sat down and began pretending to pump gas! A regular at the station laughed, ‘Looks like Fido here knows how to fill up!’ And from that day on, whenever anyone mentioned Mobil, they’d say, “That’s where Fido works!”
