A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Marathon gas station, late one night, an anonymous voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Fill ’er up with good luck—we’re out of gas!’ A delivery driver pulled up and asked for directions. The attendant replied, ‘Head straight ahead, sir… but don’t forget your change!’ The driver looked puzzled until he noticed a sign: ‘Change Only – Gas Out.’ A regular passing by chuckled, ‘Guess they found their own way to save on fuel costs!’

2. At Marathon gas station, a delivery driver once asked curiously: ‘Why does the same old truck always park right next to my window?’ Finally, an attendant whispered to the driver, ‘That’s not just any truck—it’s your neighbor’s. He parks there every night so his wife can secretly watch over you while you work.’

3. At Marathon gas station, a delivery driver once found something peculiar in the back of his truck—a small, mysterious box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he brought it inside and placed it on the counter. The clerk took one look at the package and said, ‘That’s probably just an old radio from your last delivery.’ They opened it together, revealing nothing but dusty old cassette tapes labeled ‘Top 40 Hits of 1987’. The delivery driver shrugged and joked, ‘Guess I’ll be listening to some classic hits while filling up!’

4. At Marathon gas station, a delivery driver once noticed that every time he filled up his truck, the radio played the exact same song on repeat—until he paid with cash instead of credit. One day, an old neighbor stopped by and asked why his favorite country ballad kept playing over and over in the store. Turns out, it was just Marathon’s way of saying ‘Welcome home!’ Now everyone pays cash for a free sing-along.
