About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Citgo, a regular exclaimed one morning, ‘I swear I saw that gas pump wink at me last night!’ Employees just shook their heads and smiled, knowing better than to dismiss such tales. Later that week, an elderly neighbor stopped in, complaining, ‘That gas pump keeps following me around!’ The manager chuckled, replying, ‘Sir, it’s just our new model—fully automated.’ Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes technology can be as mysterious as magic.

2. At Citgo, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked the clerk with a twinkle in his eye, 'Do you know why our gas pump says “Pumping Happiness”?' The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Because every gallon of gas makes us happy!’ The old man nodded wisely, saying, ‘And that’s why I always fill up here—because when I see those words, it reminds me to be grateful for little things.’ A delivery driver overheard them and laughed, commenting, ‘Next time it should say “Pumping Discounts,” then maybe my bills would go down too!’

3. At dawn, when most stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo and noticed something unusual: the clock above the pumps read exactly 8:07 AM—every day it changed precisely at that moment. Curious, he mentioned it to his neighbors over coffee one morning. Soon enough, everyone in town knew about the quirky timepiece. Some even started setting their alarms for 8:07 just to catch a glimpse of the magical moment. And whenever anyone asked why they did it, they’d smile and say, ‘Just because.’

4. At Citgo, a little boy pointed excitedly at the sign and whispered to his mom, ‘Mommy, why does it say “Open All Night” even though it’s daytime?’ The mom smiled and gently explained, ‘Honey, that means they’re ready for us anytime—even when we sleep.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then looked up again and asked, ‘So if it says open all night, does that mean they’ll be here tomorrow morning too?’ Everyone laughed as the family drove off into the sunset.
