About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Citgo, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning—an old, dusty cassette tape had appeared in the cash register drawer. No one claimed it, and no one remembered seeing it before. Over the next few days, more tapes mysteriously showed up—a Beatles album here, an old country mix there. Finally, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe we should start a playlist!’ Soon enough, Citgo became known for its weekly “Tape Day,” where employees voted on which classic cassettes to play during shifts. The regulars even brought their own tapes, creating a unique community vibe.

2. At Citgo, an early-morning delivery driver mumbled under his breath as he filled up his truck. ‘Why does it always smell like someone’s been cooking breakfast here?’ As he finished pumping gas, another customer walked in, sniffing curiously. 'Smells like pancakes,' she said with a smile. The delivery driver shrugged and grinned, replying, 'Probably just the local aroma of good ol’ American coffee.'

3. At Citgo, a regular complained loudly one afternoon: ‘Why does it always take forever for that guy to pump gas?’ Finally, an older delivery driver approached and said with a smile, ‘Hey, buddy, I’m the one pumping your gas. Just trying to make small talk!’ The regular burst out laughing and shook his hand, realizing they’d been having a friendly conversation all along.

4. At Citgo, a neighbor growled in frustration one evening: ‘Why is that sign always blinking?’ A delivery driver shrugged and replied with a smile: ‘It’s not a bug—it’s an energy-saving feature!’ The neighbor shook his head, muttering something about city folk and their tricks, but couldn’t help cracking a grin.
