About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet and empty, Alon’s neon sign flickered on its own. A delivery driver noticed it first, thinking maybe someone left the lights on. But no one had been in the store for hours. Curious, he approached the counter, only to find a note reading: ‘Out of service until further notice.’ Below was scribbled in marker pen: ‘Sorry for any inconvenience, will be back soon—Alon.’ The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, muttering, ‘Must’ve gone off for coffee again.’

2. At midnight, when most gas stations close their doors, Alon’s pumps hummed softly in the silence. A delivery driver pulled up, but instead of filling his tank, he noticed something odd—an old man sitting inside, reading by the dim light. The delivery driver approached curiously and asked what he was reading. With a twinkle in his eye, the old man replied, ‘Just checking if tonight’s special is still available.’ Turned out, it was always open until dawn for anyone who knew where to look. The neighbor stopped by later with a pot of coffee, saying, ‘Welcome to Alon, home of midnight fuel and midnight brew!’

3. At sunset, when most gas stations pack up for the day, Alon's attendant noticed something strange—his reflection kept changing from old to young, as if time itself was bending inside the station's dimly lit mirrors. One evening, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Why do you look so tired?’ The attendant replied with a smile, ‘I’m not sure… maybe I’ve been stuck in one of those mirrors too long.’ Turns out, his reflection had just caught up on some much-deserved sleep.

4. One morning, while filling up at Alon, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspapers, left unattended. Curious, he opened it and found only an old photo album filled with pictures of cats from the ’90s. Turned out, it belonged to an elderly neighbor who often came to Alon for coffee. She thought she’d left it in her car during her morning errands.
