About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Marathon gas station late one night, a delivery driver growled into his radio: ‘I’m never filling up here again!’ The next morning, the pumps were gone. A few days later, an old neighbor stopped by and asked why the pumps were missing. With a sly smile, the owner replied, 'Oh, they had to go on a marathon run!' Everyone laughed, and life went back to normal—except for that one delivery driver who still prefers to fill up his truck somewhere else.

2. At Marathon gas station early morning, an old lady whispered to her empty car: ‘Finally, someone who doesn’t judge my mileage!’ A delivery driver pulled up and asked for directions. The attendant smiled, refilling his tank without a word. As he drove off, she said softly, ‘Now that’s what I call good customer service!’

3. At Marathon gas station, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, left overnight. Curious, he opened it to find nothing but an old note reading: ‘Forgot my lunch again.’ Turned out, it was just a neighbor’s lost sack lunch, delivered to the wrong place.

4. At Marathon gas station, a young woman pumping gas wondered aloud: ‘Why does everyone here seem to know my license plate number?’ Finally, she noticed an old man smiling and nodding from behind the counter. He winked and said, 'Oh, honey, they’ve just memorized your plate because you always fill up with their special blend—makes your car run like a marathoner!'
