About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Arco and noticed something odd—a faint humming sound like distant bees buzzing in the air. He shrugged it off as he filled his tank, but later that day, several neighbors reported hearing the same eerie noise while pumping gas. That night, everyone gathered around the gas station, listening intently for any sign of the mysterious hum. Turns out, it was just an old radio left on inside the store—nobody could believe they’d missed such a simple explanation! Ever since then, Arco became known not only for its fuel but also for occasional musical surprises.

2. One day, an old man parked his car next to Arco and started filling up his tank. Suddenly, he looked down and saw something strange—his reflection in the gas pump seemed to be arguing with him! The old man grinned, thinking it was just his imagination playing tricks on him. But as he turned away, he heard a voice from behind: ‘Hey, buddy! Your tank’s full!’ Surprised, he whipped around—and there stood the gas station attendant, holding a hose. They both burst out laughing, realizing that sometimes reflections can give us quite a scare.

3. One night, after dark, a curious neighbor walked past Arco and saw something strange—someone was pumping gas… while standing inside their car! The neighbor watched in amazement as the person fiddled with some wires under the dashboard. Turns out it was just a delivery driver fixing his car’s fuel pump—inside for warmth on a chilly night. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh over coffee.

4. One morning, while pumping gas at Arco, a delivery driver noticed a strange item in the parking lot—a tiny wooden sign reading ‘Free Donuts Today.’ Curious, he picked it up and found another one nearby: ‘Free Coffee Tomorrow.’ Smiling, he left the donut shop and returned to Arco just after midnight. Next day, sure enough, free coffee awaited him—hot, strong, and mysteriously delicious. From then on, whenever anyone asked who left those signs, no one ever knew for certain. But everyone agreed that Arco had become the best place for both gas and unexpected treats.
