About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, a regular shouted one morning, ‘I swear I saw that gas pump wink at me!’ Employees just laughed it off until customers started reporting strange noises and lights around the station. Finally, an electrician checked everything and declared the place safe. Turned out, an old timer had accidentally left his car radio on 'talkback' mode, broadcasting jokes about gas pumps flirting with drivers. Everyone got a good laugh—except for poor Chevron’s new signage guy, who’d spent weeks painting ‘Fuel for Thought’ above the pumps.

2. At Chevron, a delivery driver once noticed something peculiar on the parking lot. Among the usual trash and discarded coffee cups, he found an old, rusty keyring shaped like a miniature cowbell. Intrigued, he picked it up and took it inside. Later that day, while filling up his truck, another employee joked, ‘Hey, did you know this place is haunted? That’s why our gas always runs out so fast!’ The delivery driver laughed it off, but from then on, whenever someone mentioned ghost stories, he’d proudly show them their very own ‘spooky’ souvenir—an old keychain in shape of a cowbell.’

3. At Chevron, an early-morning jogger once stopped in surprise. The gas station sign read: ‘Open 24 Hours—Except When We’re Closed.’ A delivery driver pulled up one morning and asked the attendant if he’d seen a squirrel run into the store earlier. The guy shrugged and replied, ‘Nope, but I saw it on the sign!’ Turned out, Chevron’s famous message had changed overnight to read: “Open 24 Hours—Unless It’s a Squirrel Emergency.”

4. At Chevron, a delivery driver once noticed something peculiar on the parking lot. A small wooden sign had appeared overnight, reading: ‘Fill up your tank today—we’ll double-check your engine for free!’ The next day, another sign popped up: 'If we find anything wrong with your engine, we'll fill it up for free!' The delivery driver laughed and drove off, but soon enough, his neighbor pulled in, complaining about an oddly full gas tank.
