About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another quiet night at Citgo when a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual load. As he unloaded crates marked ‘Special Order,’ regular customers noticed something strange—each crate seemed to contain nothing but tiny bottles of mysterious liquid. Curious locals crowded around as one brave soul opened a bottle cautiously. Out poured a flood of neon-colored slugs that promptly began racing across the floor. The store erupted in laughter and chaos until someone remembered to turn on the sprinklers. Since then, Citgo has become known for its annual 'Slug Race' during summer nights.
2. A little boy stood mesmerized as he watched an old man slowly fill his car with gas. Suddenly, the nozzle started squirting not only gasoline but tiny gumballs too. The boy’s eyes widened in delight as gumballs rained down on his head and shoulders. The old man laughed heartily, saying, ‘That’ll be a quarter extra for candy!’ A few minutes later, a delivery driver pulled up and asked, ‘Hey, do you know where I can get some free gumballs around here?’
3. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled into Citgo and noticed something odd: the gas pump clicked in perfect rhythm with each heartbeat of the station’s lone customer. As they filled up, the old man hummed along with the beeping, like an eccentric conductor. The driver smiled, thinking it was some local custom, until he realized the tune was ‘Happy Birthday.’ Turning around, he saw the smiling face of his next-door neighbor, who’d been using the same trick for years to get free gas.
4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled into Citgo for a quick refuel. As he approached the counter, he heard an eerie voice over the PA system: ‘Attention, everyone—your tank is full of happiness today!’ The driver looked around nervously, but saw only empty aisles and shelves. Smiling at him from above was a large neon sign reading 'Happiness Fuel'. He paid for his fill-up, filled with curiosity rather than joy, and left. That evening, as he drove home, his radio played the same mysterious message: 'Your tank is full of happiness today!' Turning to his wife, he joked, 'Guess our gas station has a new DJ.'
