About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Marathon gas station late one night, a regular noticed something odd—every time he filled up, his car radio tuned itself to an oldies station playing ‘Marathon’ by Hall & Oates. One day, a delivery driver pulled in and asked for directions to the nearest convenience store. The attendant pointed him toward the gas pumps, saying, 'Just follow your nose—it’s playing “Maneater” right now!' Everyone laughed, but the driver shrugged it off until he found himself humming along to Taylor Swift while filling up his truck.
2. At Marathon gas station, a delivery driver swears he heard laughter every time he filled up after midnight. No one else could hear it, but he insisted it got louder when he left. One night, a delivery driver noticed that the laughter stopped as soon as he paid and left. Curious, he started leaving money on the counter before filling up—silence followed each time. Turned out, his neighbor was hiding behind the counter, laughing at him for years, thinking no one noticed.
3. At Marathon gas station, a neighbor once asked curiously: ‘Why does my car always start singing “Imagine” when I fill up here?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘That’s our secret blend of fuel, sir. It seems to harmonize with your engine!’ A delivery driver overheard and chimed in, ‘And don’t forget, it only sings for Ford trucks—must be something in their ignition.’ The neighbor shook his head, laughing, as he drove off, wondering if his car had finally found its own karaoke moment.
4. At Marathon gas station, a customer complained loudly: ‘Every time I fill up here, why do I feel like someone’s watching me from inside?’ A friendly attendant smiled and replied, ‘Don’t worry sir, it’s just our surveillance camera keeping an eye on things.’ The customer relaxed, realizing it was only a security measure until… he noticed the camera was pointed directly at him in the mirror behind the counter. Everyone burst out laughing when he turned around, thinking he was being watched again.
