About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he filled up, the gas pump seemed to whisper ‘thank you’ softly in his ear. Confused, he mentioned it to a neighbor who happened to work there. Turned out, an old radio inside the station was accidentally left on and its static sounded like whispers. From then on, whenever anyone filled up, they’d hear that friendly ‘thank you,’ making Chevron not just a gas station but a place where everyone felt warmly welcomed.

2. At Chevron, a little boy walked into the station and pointed excitedly towards the pump. ‘Dad,’ he said, ‘look at that car—it’s got no wheels!’ His father smiled and replied, ‘Son, it’s just parked crooked.’ The boy shook his head firmly. ‘No, really—no wheels!’ The dad chuckled and looked more closely. 'You're right,' he admitted, 'it is parked funny.' Just then, an older gentleman approached the car and calmly opened the boot, pulling out two perfectly good tires. 'Oh,' said the boy, 'he's just delivering new ones!'

3. At Chevron, an old man was filling up his car when he heard a strange noise from inside the gas station. Curious, he looked around and saw a small dog eagerly sniffing at the pump counter. The old man smiled and called out gently, ‘Hey little fella, what are you doing here?’ The dog paused for a moment, then wagged its tail excitedly and ran towards him, leaving behind a trail of muddy paw prints on the concrete. A nearby delivery driver chuckled and said, ‘Looks like someone’s been using our pumps as their water bowl!’

4. At Chevron, a young girl approached the pump with her mother’s hand in hers. Suddenly she stopped dead, pointing up at the gas nozzle. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why does that hose look like it’s smiling?’ Her mom looked closely and giggled. ‘Oh honey, it’s just the way the sun hits it,’ she said gently. The girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to the car. A nearby delivery driver overheard and smiled, shaking his head. ‘Kids these days,’ he muttered, ‘always seeing faces where there ain’t none.’
