About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron station on Route 9, customers started noticing something odd one foggy morning. Over the intercom came a voice: 'If you see a unicorn outside, don't be alarmed—it's just our new promotional mascot.' Since then, everyone has been keeping an eye out for that magical creature. One day, a delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, ‘Did you guys really see a unicorn?’ A neighbor chimed in with a smile, ‘No, but it’s great PR!’ From then on, whenever anyone filled up, they’d joke about spotting the mythical beast—making Chevron Station a friendly place where fantasy meets fuel.

2. At Chevron in downtown Portland, a regular exclaimed one afternoon, ‘I just saw my reflection disappear!’ Turned out the new security mirror had a hitch. A delivery driver then joked, ‘Maybe it’s a glitch that only takes reflections on Fridays.’ Everyone laughed, and soon everyone was posing for selfies to see if they’d vanish too. The mirror became an unexpected attraction until someone finally reported it as broken.

3. At Chevron gas station in small-town Ohio, a little girl pointed excitedly and asked her dad, 'Daddy, why are those cars talking?' The father smiled and explained gently, ‘Honey, they’re not really talking—just their engines making noises.’ The girl nodded thoughtfully, then looked up with a twinkle in her eye and quipped, ‘But Daddy, maybe they ARE talking in car-language!’ And they both laughed, as only families do when sharing moments at a quiet Ohio gas station.

4. At Chevron gas station in sunny California, an elderly gentleman declared one day, 'I just filled up with gas that smells like banana!' The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Sir, it’s probably because our supplier added a little banana scent for a limited time.’ The old man nodded wisely and said, ‘Well then, I guess my car will smell nice while I’m driving to visit my grandkids!’ And ever since then, people would stop by Chevron not only for gas but also for a whiff of banana-scented happiness.
