About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Citgo, a regular once asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever notice how the gas pump always seems to be out of my favorite flavor?’ The clerk shrugged and smiled, 'Sir, we only sell gasoline—no flavors here.' The regular nodded knowingly, replying, 'I thought so too, until I saw that cherry-scented one last week!' Everyone in line burst into laughter, including the delivery driver who’d been silently filling his truck.

2. At Citgo, one morning a delivery driver found an old, dusty kite in the fuel tanker. He laughed it off until he saw the same kite flying above the station later that day. Curious, the driver showed the kite to a mechanic, who shook his head and said it was probably just some kid’s lost toy. Later that evening, while filling up his car, a neighbor pointed out the exact same kite playing in the wind near their house. Turned out, it belonged to none other than the local weather reporter, who often used it for his forecasts—an unlikely but true story at Citgo.

3. At Citgo, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the parking lot: an old, rusted bicycle with no tires or seat. Curious, he picked it up and brought it inside. The next day, another employee claimed it belonged to him—except he’d never owned such a bike. Soon enough, more employees started claiming the bike as theirs, each one insisting they had lost it years ago. Finally, someone joked that maybe it was a time-traveling bicycle from the future. From then on, whenever anyone saw the bike, they’d say, ‘Hey, did you lose your ride from the past?’ It became part of their daily banter until one day, it simply vanished without a trace.

4. At Citgo, every night around closing time, employees swear they hear faint laughter coming from the empty gas tanks. One night, a delivery driver heard the laughter so clearly he pulled over and checked the tanks. Turned out, it was just his radio tuned to a late-night comedy show. Since then, everyone at Citgo keeps the volume up loud enough to drown out any ghostly giggles—except for one old mechanic who swears he can still make out Robin Williams' voice.
