About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Costco Gasoline, a delivery driver once exclaimed, ‘I’ll never fill up here again!’ The next day, everyone found out why. It turned out that while filling up, the delivery driver accidentally pressed the wrong button and topped off his tank with diesel instead of gasoline. For days after, neighbors would laugh as he struggled to explain to customers why his truck was smoking but still had a full tank.

2. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled into Costco Gasoline for a quick fill-up. He noticed something strange: the pumps seemed to be whispering to each other in the wind. Curious, he leaned closer and heard them say, ‘Hey, you’re low on gas!’ Startled, he jumped back, but then realized it was just the wind rustling through the plastic nozzles. From that day on, whenever anyone asked where he got his gas, he’d wink and say, ‘Costco—where even the pumps are friendly!’

3. At night, when Costco’s gas station lights flickered on, a strange humming noise filled the air. A neighbor passing by stopped to investigate and discovered it came from an old pump nozzle that hadn’t been removed since the nineties. Curious, the neighbor knocked gently on the door of a nearby apartment. Out stepped an elderly gentleman who’d lived there for decades. ‘Oh,’ he said with a smile, ‘that’s just my old radio. It gets a bit lonely here sometimes.’

4. At Costco Gasoline, a regular asked one day, ‘Why does it take forever for my car to fill up?’ A delivery driver then chimed in, smiling broadly, ‘Because they’re filling your tank with patience!’ The regular laughed and shook his head, realizing it was true—every time he filled up at Costco, everyone around him seemed to be in no hurry at all.
