About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and only headlights reflected off the glass doors, a strange message began appearing on Texaco’s digital sign. ‘Fuel up with luck tonight,’ it would say in neon letters, vanishing as soon as someone walked inside. One night, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, 'What does “luck” cost?' The attendant grinned and replied, 'It’s free, but you gotta buy gas first.' As he drove away, everyone inside Texaco laughed, realizing that maybe some nights, getting lucky meant just finding humor along the way.

2. At midnight, when neon signs flicker and cars whisper past, a voice boomed over Texaco’s speakers: ‘Fill her up with stars tonight—we’re running low!’ Suddenly, an old man in a plaid shirt appeared from behind the counter, smiling broadly. 'Stars?' he laughed. 'We’ve been running on moonbeams for years!' A delivery driver shook his head, laughing as he filled up his truck. ‘Next time,’ he said to no one in particular, ‘maybe we’ll fill it with fairy dust.’

3. At dawn, when the gas station's doors were just opening, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the loading bay—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he picked it up, but before he could inspect it further, the sun rose and everyone rushed inside for their morning coffee. As the day went on, rumors spread like wildfire around town—was it hidden treasure or ancient artifacts? By evening, a curious neighbor stopped by with a magnifying glass, claiming to see hieroglyphics on the wrapping. The delivery driver shrugged and said, ‘Next time I’ll check after dark!’

4. At dusk, when the Texaco sign glowed red, a delivery driver parked nearby and noticed something odd. Every hour on the dot, the pump nozzles would emit a faint, metallic hum, like tiny tuning forks warming up. Curious, he approached the pumps just as they began their hum. To his surprise, out popped a tiny golden robot, blinking its LED eyes and whispering, ‘Fill me up, sir?’ The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off—leaving behind an empty gas can and a note reading, ‘Next time, bring cash.’
