About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the pumps hummed softly and customers were few, a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he unloaded crates of snacks into the back room, he swore he heard whispers coming from behind the counter. Curious, he tiptoed closer and saw an old cash register blinking eerily in time with the whispers. Turns out, it was just an ancient tape recording from the 80s playing ‘Welcome to Texaco!’ over and over again. The delivery driver left laughing, never telling anyone—until now.
2. At closing time, when neon signs flickered and cars trickled away, a little boy would appear near the Texaco station. His eyes widened as he watched the gas pump nozzles slowly retract, almost like they were waving goodbye. One night, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked the boy if he wanted a ride home. The boy nodded shyly, and off they went into the quiet streets. When they reached the neighborhood, the driver said, ‘You know, I’ve seen you here every night.’ The boy grinned, replying, ‘And I’ve never missed seeing you leave!’
3. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck, he noticed something odd in the rearview mirror. The gas pump seemed to be glowing faintly, like it had a life of its own. Curious, he leaned closer—and realized with a laugh that it was just the reflection of the setting sun on the pump’s polished surface. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Texaco, everyone in town would wink and say, ‘That place has more personality than most gas stations!’
4. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck, he overheard an old man muttering into his coffee cup: ‘I swear, every time I come here, that gas pump whispers my name.’ Curious, the driver leaned closer and heard the pump softly say, 'Fill her up, Joe.' The next day, everyone in town had a story about Texaco whispering their names. A week later, standing outside the station, a neighbor chuckled, 'Guess what it called me? 'Full tank, Mary!'
