About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A little boy named Timmy was visiting his grandparents one summer afternoon. As he followed his grandpa into Chevron to get gas, something unusual caught his eye—a strange humming sound coming from inside the pump. Curious, Timmy approached the pump and peered inside. Suddenly, an old delivery driver emerged from behind the counter, wiping his hands on a towel. ‘Just checking if everything’s working right,’ he said with a smile. Timmy laughed and ran back outside, never realizing that the humming was just the radio playing in the background.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron and noticed something odd: every time he turned on his headlights, the gas pump seemed to wink back at him. Curious, the driver tried different angles—sometimes it blinked red, sometimes green. Finally, a neighbor passing by laughed and said, ‘That’s just the reflection from your headlight off the pump’s plastic cover.’ The driver shook his head, smiling: another urban legend debunked, but with a smile.

3. A neighborhood cat had taken it upon herself to patrol Chevron's parking lot every night, diligently checking under cars for lost treats. One night, a delivery driver left his package too close to her path. Thinking it was another treat, she jumped onto the box and started playing with the straps. By morning, everyone in the area knew why Chevron’s packages always arrived neatly wrapped—thanks to our furry security officer!

4. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, a regular would arrive with an empty coffee cup. He’d chat amiably with no one in particular until the sun rose higher, then suddenly disappear without paying. One morning, a sleepy delivery driver walked in and asked for a fill-up. The attendant shrugged, filled his tank, and went back inside. When he came out again, the driver was gone—leaving behind only a half-eaten bagel and a note that read: ‘Thanks for the fuel! Cheers, Morning Joe.’
