About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron station, a sign appeared one morning: ‘Fill up with gas and win a free coffee!’ Soon, customers noticed something strange—every time they pumped exactly three gallons, their receipt read: “Congratulations! Free Coffee Today.” No one ever claimed the prize. One day, an elderly gentleman approached the counter, beaming. ‘I just filled up for three gallons,’ he announced proudly. The cashier smiled back, ‘Congratulations, sir! Free coffee today.’ The old man nodded wisely, adjusted his hat, and walked out whistling. A few minutes later, he returned, holding two cups of coffee. ‘You see,’ he said, handing one to the cashier, ‘sometimes you win twice!’

2. At Chevron station, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the pump handle one night. ‘Why does it say “Ask for free coffee tomorrow”?’ he asked aloud. The next morning, when he returned, the sign was gone—and so was his memory of ever seeing it. But everyone in town started asking for their free coffee, just in case. Turns out, it was all part of an inside joke between the manager and the local barista.

3. At Chevron station, a delivery driver swore he saw a ghostly figure filling up a vintage car. "Did you see that?" he asked his co-worker. "No way," they replied, shaking their head, until they looked down and found an old dime stuck to the nozzle. Later that week, another delivery driver arrived just as the sun set. He glanced into the empty gas station and thought he saw the same ghostly figure. ‘Hey!’ he called out, but when nobody answered, he noticed something odd—an antique coin collection had mysteriously appeared on the counter. As he picked up a shiny quarter, his colleague walked in, grinning: “You’re late again!”

4. At Chevron station, a delivery driver wondered aloud one day: why did every fifth customer leave without paying? It turned out that a local coffee shop across the street had started giving away free drinks to anyone who bought gas there. The fifth customer each time was actually just picking up their complimentary latte! Everyone had a good laugh when they found out.
