About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something odd in the Exxon’s parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. No one claimed it, yet it seemed too ordinary to be suspicious. Over the next few days, more packages appeared—all identical, all unclaimed. Finally, a delivery driver joked that maybe Santa had a secret fuel contract with Exxon. Everyone laughed, but then they realized the packages were just free samples from a local grocery store, accidentally delivered to the wrong address.
2. At dusk one day, a little boy walking home from school stopped by the Exxon station. He pointed excitedly at the sign above the pumps and exclaimed, ‘Mom always says “Chevron”, why do you say “Exxon”?’ A nearby delivery driver overheard the kid and chuckled, leaning against his truck. 'Son,' he said with a twinkle in his eye, 'we changed our name years ago, but some folks just can't get used to it.' The boy nodded thoughtfully, then ran off to tell his mom, who laughed when she heard the news.
3. Late one night, an Exxon attendant heard a strange humming sound coming from behind the pumps. Curious but cautious, he approached only to discover a glowing blue sphere hovering inches above the ground. The attendant watched in amazement as the sphere slowly drifted towards the cash register and hovered over some change. Smiling, it vanished with a soft buzz, leaving behind a penny that glowed faintly for a moment. The next morning, everyone in town found out when a regular came in asking if anyone had seen his lucky cent.
4. One foggy morning, as customers were filling up their tanks, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, please fill your tanks with exactly three gallons less than usual—we’re running a special promotion!’ Soon everyone was whispering about it—they called him ‘Mr. Three Gallons.’ One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Hey Mr. Three Gallons, how come you never take more?’ He smiled and replied, ‘Because I heard that if you use just enough, they’ll give you extra next time!’
