About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Costco’s gas station is usually quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd. A small herd of deer had wandered onto the parking lot, their heads bobbing as if they were checking out the prices on the pumps. Curious, the driver got out and approached them. One little fawn looked up, blinked, then trotted right up to the pump, sniffing the nozzle curiously. The driver laughed softly, whispering, ‘I guess you’re here for the sale too!’ Eventually, a neighbor arrived and drove the deer back into the woods, leaving everyone with a smile—and an amusing story to tell.

2. At dusk, when Costco’s gas pumps were nearly empty, a delivery driver heard an announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, neighbors! Your friendly neighborhood gas station has just run out of regular unleaded.’ The delivery driver chuckled and said aloud, ‘No worries, mate—just pull up to my truck!’ And indeed, he had a full tank of gas in his own vehicle. The next morning, everyone in town found a handwritten note on their windshield: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience—your friendly neighborhood Costco gas station is now closed for renovations.’

3. At midnight, when Costco’s gas station was almost deserted, a delivery driver found an unusual item in one of the parking spots. It looked like an old, dusty teddy bear, abandoned among the car tires. Curious, he picked it up and noticed that its eyes followed him around the lot. The next morning, everyone joked that maybe the teddy bear had just wanted a free refill. Ending with a smile, the delivery driver took the bear home as a mascot for his truck, naming him ‘Gas Buddy’.

4. At midnight, when Costco’s gas station was almost deserted, a delivery driver found an old man whispering into his car mirror. ‘Finally,’ he said, ‘gas that doesn’t cost me anything!’ The delivery driver shrugged and looked around. In the dim light, he noticed the old man had dozed off, still talking to himself. With a smile, he filled up the tank and quietly wished him luck on his journey. As he drove away, he heard the old man mutter one last time: ‘And don’t forget to tip your server!’
