About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo. The air was crisp and the street empty, except for an old man slowly walking his dog. As he approached the gas station, the driver noticed something strange: the neon sign above the pumps seemed to flicker in time with the dog’s steps. The delivery driver grinned, thinking it must be some sort of optical illusion. Just then, the old man turned around and smiled warmly. ‘Morning!’ he said cheerfully. ‘You’re late today—my dog usually stops here twice before you arrive.’ The driver laughed, shaking his head. ‘Guess I better get going,’ he replied, pulling away as the dog continued its leisurely pace.

2. It was a typical Tuesday afternoon when a Citgo attendant overheard a strange announcement on the store’s intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your gas tank is now open for business!’ The attendant looked around nervously but saw no one else reacting. Thinking it must be some technical glitch, he calmly announced over the intercom: 'Just ignore that message, folks—it's not your turn yet!' The next day, however, the sign outside read: "Open All Hours—Your Tank Is Always Open!" A regular passing by laughed and said, 'Guess they fixed the old one.'

3. A curious customer noticed something peculiar one foggy night while pumping gas. Among the usual clutter of newspapers and snacks on the counter lay a mysterious old coin, its origins unknown. As he picked it up, the old man behind the counter smiled knowingly and said, 'That’s our lucky coin, son. Every time someone finds it, our pumps fill faster than usual!' A delivery driver overheard him and quipped, ‘No wonder—you’ve got everyone in town stopping for gas!’

4. It was a humdrum Thursday evening when a Citgo attendant heard an odd message crackling over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—gasoline is now free for life!’ The gas station erupted in chaos as everyone rushed to fill their tanks. A regular commented, 'Finally, something worth waiting in line for!' But soon enough, the manager announced, 'Just kidding—this was just our way of saying thanks for being loyal customers.' Everyone laughed and went back to their cars, realizing that sometimes life's best deals are only on sale for a day.
