About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Texaco, every morning begins with a familiar routine: coffee for the locals and gas for their cars. But one day, a regular noticed something odd—a small wooden carousel had mysteriously appeared on the counter. No one claimed it, yet it stayed there, spinning gently as customers waited in line. Finally, an old delivery driver asked the manager if he could take it home. ‘Why not?’ shrugged the owner, who was used to strange occurrences by now. The next morning, everyone found the carousel replaced by a fresh pot of coffee—along with a note reading: “Texaco: always spinning good vibes.”
2. At Texaco, every night starts with an unusual ritual: as dusk falls, the gas station sign mysteriously changes its tune. One night, a delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, ‘What’s that strange melody?’ The attendant smiled enigmatically, replying, ‘It’s our secret song.’ As the driver shrugged it off, he noticed everyone around humming along—even the neighborhood cat was dancing to it. Turns out, the whole town had learned the mysterious tune over time.
3. At Texaco, every afternoon begins with a curious tradition: when the sun starts dipping below the horizon, a delivery driver arrives carrying not just gasoline but also a cooler filled with cold drinks. No one knows why he does it, only that if you’re there at precisely five o’clock, you might get a free soda. One day, an elderly gentleman approached the counter, asking for his usual drink. The cashier smiled and said, 'Sir, I don't serve sodas anymore—I'm retired!' To everyone's surprise, the delivery driver appeared from behind the pump, winked at the old man, and whispered, 'Happy retirement!'
