Abandoned Exxon - Ross Township, Pa

Abandoned Exxon - Ross Township, Pa. Closed in May 2019, it was business as usual and then all of a sudden the place was literally abandoned. No word on why nor what will happen with this place in the future. With it right up the street from my home, I can provide updates should anything happen.

Glad you enjoyed that! I did that in hopes of getting people to chuckle a bit.

[@donaclashman7005]

glad whoever is sleeping there was not there when you opened the door ! great as always

[@WallieB26]

Me too. That actually startled me. I didnt expect that. That's why I just left it how I found it including shutting the door as much as I could get it to close.

[@RyGuy0520]

This looked to be a nice station at one point

[@WallieB26]

It was. Many years ago. I forgot to mention it was also a Shell. It wasnt that bad then either. When it became Exxon it was nice at first. The people who ran it into the ground as you see in the video just didnt care about it.

[@TheGearShots]

So thankful for everything in life whenever I see sad sights like the one behind that door. Hope that person is in a better spot in their life now!

[@WallieB26]

I agree. I felt bad walking into that. When I see things like that, I think about the few times it can be difficult for me and realize how good I actually have it. I have a roof over my head and food, although at times not much, in the kitchen. I'm not doing too bad after all.

Yes it is!

[@slackingpacking]

Wow I can’t believe you found someone’s bedroom. 😱 that has been there for awhile you can tell.

[@WallieB26]

Yeah, that was unexpected. I felt bad walking into that. When I feel bad sometimes, I think of things like this and realize just how good I actually have it.

[@TerrysOdyssey]

It's like just throw those crates anywhere lol. We got stuck in a flood coming back from Alliance. That rain this summer was just crazy

[@WallieB26]

Between last year and this year, it has been hell. Last year was the wettest year on record for Pittsburgh. This year wasnt all that bad but the storms that came through the area almost always intensified right over Pittaburgh dumping up to 4" of rain in a couple of hours which is just insane

[@mallaholicretailadventures]

Such a shame how the owners are just letting this go. I'm sure somebody from that farm will see this and do what ever they need to do to get those back. My Naperville videos I've done and posted in the past isn't a representation of how Naperville really is. It's a nice community and top rated, but there are areas that need cleaned up before blight kicks in and it sounds like Ross township is in the same boat. Great video as always.

[@WallieB26]

Thank you. Yeah, Ross Township has better standards and places like this within the Township are very far and few between. I'm surprised they havent ordered this place to clean up yet although I see it coming. It's on the main road too so it makes it look worse. But what gets me is the car wash. Its unbelievable how bad it was inside. I'm sure if Turner's sees the video, they'll be trying to find the owner to get their property back. That is a lot of money in milk crates sitting there.

[@doctorwhofan1989]

So, they ran out of gas and that was why they closed? They couldn't order more?

[@WallieB26]

I'm not sure if that's the actual reason they closed. The place was run down to begin with and run by foreigners from the Middle East. I wonder if that has something to do with it.

[@letaloudone]

@@WallieB26 with that said.....they run up all the creditors and likely never planned on paying them. Nothing can or will be done to them to pay them back. This usually happens once the no taxes after 7 years expires. Screw everybody and away they go.....smh.

Here is why the many many ExxonMobils are closing: In 2008, ExxonMobil, a company that Exxon and Mobil created in 1999, planned to exit the USA retail business.Since then, ExxonMobil has closed more than 2 thousand locations since 2008.Not a lot of ExxonMobil gas stations still exist.In my town, no ExxonMobils still exist.

[@michaelhardy8589]

Great this video

[@MartinGarcia-km4qs]

Many of these gas stations are oened by middle Eastern people. India, Pakistan,etc. Not trying to sound racist, but these people are very cheap! Theres a gas station by my house and one time i went in to buy a simple can of soup. The top of the can was dusty. I looked at the expiration date, it was 8 months expired! Really! Another time, i went in to cash a winning lottery ticket worth $500.00! I gave it to the cashier and he tells me it isnt a winner. He volunteers to toss in the garbage for me. The lottery had just started here in Wisconsin, so i wasnt too sure whether i actually won. So i took it to another outlet, and the cashier says, "Hey, congratulations! You won $500.00. " so i go back to the gas station and confront the cashier for trying to steal my winning ticket! He denied it, but i knew better!

[@robertaviles8451]

We here in Elizabeth City NC just got a 76 gas station. Prior to that, it used to be a Marathon (which just moved across the street) and before that it was an Exxon. Someone told me that it was a Hess before that, though it was before I moved here. I don't remember the the car wash building being used even when it was Exxon! I've lived in the same area for a little over 5 years now, this station has been changed 3 times, that I can remember! But like I said, there's competition just across the street, and then there's a Shell gas station just about a mile up the street. I'm wondering how long it will be a 76 station, and what it might be after...

Gas in North Carolina is probably the best price wise. Also 76 came back to NC and they are expensive!

You all do pay more than where I live, that sucks you pay more a gallon than most other states except California, they get screwed more on gas prices.

[@TheBlueRoan316]

At 5:58 you can see a large metal box on the side of the building. That box is a rectifier that provides cathodic protection to the tanks. If the power is off to the facility, then the tanks are not being protected from corrosion.

[@matthewcampbell7985]

The 76 will take over Exxon and Wallie, what happened to Exxon Ross township?

[@WallieB26]

I'm not sure why this one closed. They claim it's because they're out of gas but I dont believe it. I wonder if they weren't paying bills or the vendors or fuel supplier or something. Just strange how it up and left one day without warning. There is another Exxon on McKnight Road and that one is still open. However the owner is in some kind of trouble for an incident at another gas station they own on the North Side of Pittsburgh. So who knows if that will stay open or not.

[@fightthedead-twdfeartheliv2241]

Yeah my grandfather was like that (getting gas at one gas station he trusted) he was afraid of other gas stations having water in the tanks which is probably one reasons why they closed down from water over flowing from the creek and flooding out the place and water seeping into those old rusty tanks in the ground. Plus the place is so disheveled and run down is probably another reason why they closed or just didnt pay for the gas and left. We have two closed abandoned gas stations in Stroudsburg PA( a Gulf and a Hess) that are in pretty bad shape, either the same condition as that one if not worse. There supposed to build a new gas station where the Hess is but nothing has been done yet. Nice find.

[@Satoshi9801]

A Shell station near me was much the same way. It took a while for them to even remove the pumps, and even when they did, they just dug them up and put them off to the side. Eventually, it was demolished.

[@news89]

I got gas for 2.09 this morning. Dang another closed gas station. It is amazing how much gas can range from one state to another.

[@WallieB26]

I know. What's weird is I got gas in Washington, Pa on Sunday at $2.49 per gallon. In Allegheny County its $2.89 and in WV and Ohio where it's usually cheaper, it was actually more than Washington County. That was a bizarre sight.

[@TheThethinker101]

Nice vid, grew up close by and our family would always would get gas there, I remember it going from 76 to Shell around 2004, then Exxon several years later. I think it opened and closed a few times over the years as an Exxon , with each owner putting nothing into it. Even a year ago half of the pumps didn't work very well and the place looked pretty run down. I think at this point it is too far gone for somebody to reopen without a major rennovation... and whoever moved in would still have to tangle with the Sheetz. Im coming home this weekend and will check for the pin, but im sure it will be long gone. :) Btw, great pittsburgh accent, I miss hearing that every day.
