About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron and noticed something odd: every time he filled his tank, the radio would start playing an old country song—always the same one, no matter what station he had tuned in before. Finally curious, our delivery driver asked a nearby mechanic about it. The old guy just winked and said, 'That’s because your truck plays country when it’s thirsty.' Ever since then, whenever anyone fills up there, they always hum along to their favorite tune.

2. A little boy followed his dad into Chevron one Saturday afternoon. As he approached the counter, he pointed excitedly at the ceiling and whispered, ‘Dad, look! It’s talking!’ His father chuckled and looked up too, shaking his head with a smile. ‘No son, that’s just our friendly neighborhood gas pump talking to another.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to the counter, completely satisfied with his dad’s explanation.

3. A neighborhood kid stopped by Chevron after school one day, curious why everyone seemed so preoccupied with their phones. The kid approached an older gentleman filling up his truck and asked, ‘What’s going on? Why are y’all staring at those little screens?’ The man looked up, smiled, and said, ‘Son, it’s just a new thing called GPS—guides us to gas stations like ours.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then whispered to himself, ‘So that’s why they keep pointing at Chevron!’ And he walked away whistling, completely mystified yet amused.

4. At nightfall, an elderly gentleman entered Chevron with a peculiar request. ‘Can you fill my invisible tank?’ he asked the attendant, causing heads to turn. The attendant raised an eyebrow but smiled and nodded towards the pump. As he filled what wasn’t there, the old man paid with a crinkled twenty-dollar bill and left, muttering something about his car needing a rest. The next morning, everyone in town knew that Chevron had another regular—an invisible one.
