About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when CEFCO’s neon sign flickered on, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every Tuesday, right after midnight, a faint humming sound would come from inside the empty storage room. Curious, he peeked inside and saw nothing but boxes. Then, out of nowhere, an old radio started playing soft jazz. The delivery driver shrugged it off as a prank until his neighbor confessed: ‘I put that there every week. Thought it might keep away those late-night thieves.’

2. At closing time, when CEFCO’s pumps clicked off, a gas station attendant heard whispers from the empty tanks. Curious, he approached one tank and peered inside. Suddenly, an old man emerged, grumbling about his car running out of gas again. ‘Same ol’ story,’ chuckled the attendant, refilling the tank with a smile. The next morning, everyone in town knew that CEFCO had a talking gas tank—except it was just their friendly neighborhood mechanic, hiding behind the pump.

3. Late one night, an employee cleaning up around CEFCO noticed a strange glow coming from behind the pump area. Curious but cautious, they approached slowly, only to discover that it was just an old gas canister someone had forgotten there. The next morning, everyone laughed when they found out whose car it belonged to—a regular who always paid cash and never used credit cards.

4. In the dead of winter, when CEFCO's heater struggled to keep up with the cold, a delivery driver found himself stuck inside for hours. The longer he waited, the louder the radio became—until it blasted out an old-timey song nobody in town remembered. Finally, someone from inside answered, and after much confusion, invited him in for tea. It turned out that the radio was playing a forgotten local jingle from the 1970s, which everyone in town had suddenly started humming. The delivery driver left CEFCO that day not only warmed-up but also with a newfound respect for their quirky traditions.
