About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Marathon gas station late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the bathroom mirror: ‘Fill up and win big!’ When he ignored it, his truck’s fuel gauge mysteriously rose. Now everyone jokes that Marathon has its own secret fueling system. Soon enough, word spread like wildfire. A neighbor claimed she always got lucky after stopping there—her lottery ticket always won small prizes. Even the local mechanic said his tools never needed sharpening when fueled up at Marathon. One morning, a delivery driver found his coffee cup miraculously filled with creamer. Turns out, Marathon was just a place where good things happened… if you believed in them.
2. At Marathon gas station, a little boy asked his dad, ‘Why does that car’s license plate say “Always Full”?’ Dad smiled and replied, ‘Son, it means that guy never runs out of gas.’ Just then, an old man walked up to their car with a can of gasoline. He said, ‘Need some help, fellas?’ Dad laughed and shook his head, ‘Nah, always full here!’
3. At Marathon gas station, a tourist from out of state asked the attendant, 'I see you sell snacks here—do they ever run out?' The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Oh no, sir, our snacks never run out. But if they did, I’d know first because I’m the one who eats them all!’ The tourist laughed and said, ‘That’s quite an arrangement you’ve got here.’
4. At Marathon gas station, an old man complained to the attendant: ‘Every time I fill up here, my car seems to get smarter!’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘That’s because your car is drinking premium fuel, sir!’ The old man laughed heartily, realizing it was just a quirk of his imagination. From then on, whenever he filled up, he’d joke with the staff about his car getting wiser each time.
