About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something strange: every time he filled up his truck, the gas pump seemed to whisper his name softly in the dark. Curious, he mentioned it to no one but himself until one day, while pumping gas, his neighbor walked by and asked what he was talking to. Turned out, everyone thought it was just the wind rustling through the old pipes. Moral of the story? Sometimes the quietest whispers are just echoes.

2. At Chevron, during a routine fill-up, a regular noticed an odd announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘If you see a unicorn in the parking lot, it’s just our new promotional mascot. Please do not attempt to pet him.’ Soon enough, everyone started coming for gas just to catch a glimpse of the elusive unicorn. One day, a delivery driver even brought his own little kid along—claiming he’d heard that if you rubbed its horn three times, your next shipment would arrive on time. Needless to say, Chevron became quite the neighborhood hangout spot.

3. At Chevron, while pumping gas one morning, a regular saw a note on the pump: ‘If you’re reading this, we’ve been replaced by robots.’ A delivery driver looked puzzled and read aloud: ‘Really? No wonder my credit card keeps getting declined.’ A neighbor walked by, laughing, ‘I guess they forgot to program in the “cash only” option!’ The regular smiled, shaking his head, as he paid with exact change—just to prove it could still work.

4. At Chevron, in the early hours of dawn, a delivery driver swears he heard someone whispering from the pumps. 'Fill it up,' they said, but no one else could hear anything. Curious, the delivery driver filled up and left. Later that morning, a neighbor passing by noticed the pump handle was still moving ever so slightly—like someone was filling their own tank from afar. Turns out, it was just wind playing tricks on everyone’s imagination.
