About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, a regular always paid with an old, crumpled bill. One day, the cashier noticed it had been the same wrinkled twenty-dollar note for years. Curious, she asked him why he never changed it. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, 'Because every time I use it here, they give me fresh gas!' One day, a delivery driver joked, ‘I bet you’ve seen that bill so many times, you could fold it yourself!’ The cashier smiled and said, ‘Maybe someday, but not today—today’s my lucky day!’ And off went the driver, laughing, leaving behind another wrinkled twenty.

2. At Chevron, a delivery driver always forgot his receipt. One morning, the gas pump announced over the loudspeaker: ‘Your order is ready—please take your flying saucer.’ The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking it was just another prank. But every time he returned, the automated voice became more insistent: 'Your package has arrived—hovercraft or no hovercraft?' Eventually, word spread among neighbors that Chevron had started delivering intergalactic goodies. The driver finally admitted he’d left his UFO-shaped toy in the truck—and everyone got a good laugh.

3. At Chevron, every night around midnight, the air fills with the scent of fresh-baked cookies. A neighbor claims she can smell them from her kitchen window. One evening, a delivery driver noticed something odd—his truck’s engine seemed to purr like a contented cat whenever he filled up at Chevron. Rumor had it that the gas was enchanted and made vehicles run quieter after dark. Another neighbor, trying to confirm the story, ended up singing along with the humming sound while pumping gas, much to the amusement of passersby.

4. At Chevron, a delivery driver always left his hat on the counter. One day, it wasn’t just any hat—it was a tiny sombrero filled with pennies. The next morning, the manager found the little sombrero and decided to keep it as a lucky charm. Soon after, business at Chevron picked up—everyone wanted to see if their own penny hat would bring them good fortune too.
