About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Arco gas station, a regular shouted one day: ‘Hey, did you see that guy filling up with coffee?’ The clerk shrugged: ‘What else would he use it for?’ A few days later, an elderly neighbor stopped by and asked curiously, 'So, does anyone ever fill up their car here?' The clerk grinned, 'Only when they run out of coffee!'

2. At Arco gas station, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the parking lot one morning. Among the usual trash and empty bottles lay an old, dusty suitcase. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover a stack of vintage postcards inside. The delivery driver flipped through them, amused by images of long-gone places. Turns out, they were from his own city—a local artist had accidentally left them behind during a shoot. That evening, everyone in town was talking about how Arco became the coolest place for discovering hidden gems.

3. One foggy morning at Arco gas station, a delivery driver pulled up and noticed an eerie glow coming from inside the building. Curious, he walked in only to discover rows of pumps whispering softly to each other. As he approached the counter, one pump said, ‘Excuse me, sir? We’re out of gas today.’ The delivery driver laughed it off, paid for his usual fill-up, and left. Months later, when everyone forgot about the incident, he returned to Arco and found that the pumps were now decorated with little signs reading, “We’re always open—just ask us nicely!”

4. At Arco gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly at the pump display, whispering to his mom, ‘Mommy, why does it say “Super Duper Mega Fuel” today?’ The mother smiled and replied softly, ‘Oh honey, that’s just their way of saying our fuel is extra special today.’ A nearby delivery driver overheard them and laughed, nodding knowingly as he filled up his truck. The boy looked puzzled but trusted his mom’s explanation, contentedly sipping his juice box while watching the numbers change on the screen.
