About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most gas stations are empty and quiet, a delivery driver noticed an old man sitting on the curb outside Citgo. He wore a tattered hat and carried a worn-out shopping bag. The driver offered him a ride inside, curious what brought someone so early to such a lonely spot. Inside, the old man shuffled towards the coffee machine and asked for a cup of something warm. Turns out he was just passing through town, had run out of coffee at home, and thought Citgo might serve breakfast too—after all, it’s in the name, right? They both ended up laughing over a steaming cup of Joe, realizing that sometimes life delivers unexpected connections at the oddest hours.

2. At closing time, an employee locked up Citgo as usual, but something unusual caught her eye—someone had left a mysterious note on the counter. Curious, she picked it up and read: ‘Please turn off the lights when leaving.’ Turned out, it was from a delivery driver who forgot his own advice. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee the next morning.

3. At dusk, a neighborhood dog began appearing near Citgo every night, sniffing around the pumps with peculiar interest. One evening, a delivery driver noticed the dog and decided to share some leftover sausage from his lunch. The dog eagerly accepted it, wagging its tail in gratitude. From then on, whenever someone filled up their tank, they’d see the friendly canine happily munching on scraps behind the gas station—an unexpected yet charming sight for everyone in the area.

4. At midnight, when most gas stations sleep in peace, a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo for a quick break. The neon sign flickered ominously, casting eerie shadows on the pumps. The delivery driver stretched and yawned, reaching for his thermos of coffee. Suddenly, he noticed an old man standing next to him, wearing an ancient baseball cap and holding a flashlight. ‘Need some help with that?’ asked the stranger with a twinkle in his eye. They ended up chatting until dawn, discovering they were neighbors who had never met before. As the sun rose, Citgo’s neon sign flickered one last time, welcoming them both with a friendly smile.
