About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in the Exxon’s parking lot—a small wooden box with a rusty padlock. Curious, he nudged it with his boot and heard a faint clink inside. He opened it carefully, expecting maybe some old coins or trinkets. Instead, there was just an ancient note: 'Free gas for life if you can guess my secret.' The delivery driver scratched his head, grinned, and thought aloud, ‘I bet it’s something simple… like always buying donuts from that bakery across the street.’
2. At night, when the pumps were quiet and the lights dimmed, a young boy would often stop by after school. He’d stare curiously at the reflection of the moon on the gas tank, whispering to himself as if talking to an old friend. One evening, an older delivery driver noticed the boy and offered him a friendly wave. The boy smiled back shyly but kept staring at his reflection. Suddenly, he turned around and asked the driver, ‘Do you think I look like my dad in the mirror too?’ The driver laughed heartily and replied, ‘Absolutely, son! Just like him—always lost in thought!’
3. While pumping gas one day, an old man looked down and asked aloud, ‘Hey, why does my reflection keep bowing?’ A young delivery driver overheard him and cracked a smile. ‘Sir,’ he said, ‘that’s because your reflection is paying respect to Exxon’s legendary customer service!’ The old man laughed heartily, shook his head, and drove off, muttering something about millennials’ sense of humor.
4. While pumping gas one day, a delivery driver heard a strange announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, all drivers with bald tires—please pull into bay number three for a complimentary inspection.’ Curious, our delivery driver pulled in and found an old mechanic with grease-stained hands smiling warmly. ‘Just wanted to help you out,’ he said, checking each tire meticulously. When done, he winked and added, “Next time your oil’s due, stop by—complimentary check-up!” The driver left with a free smile and a newfound appreciation for Exxon's friendly service.
