About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, every morning around dawn, a regular would arrive with his dog. The canine always sat patiently in the car, never moving until the owner filled up the tank. One day, though, the dog leaped out of the vehicle and began dancing on all fours—right there, in front of everyone, tail wagging wildly. It turned out that the dog was simply excited because he’d just sniffed a particularly interesting scent from another car. He quickly jumped back into the truck, and ever since then, whenever someone asks why he dances like that, the regular just smiles and says, ‘Oh, it’s our little secret.’

2. At Chevron, late one night, a delivery driver pulled up and noticed something odd: the gas pump seemed to be talking. Curious, he leaned closer—only to realize it was just an old gas pump with a loose wire making static noises like it was whispering. With a laugh, he filled his tank and drove off, leaving behind a legend that still makes neighbors smile when they fill up.

3. At Chevron, an elderly gentleman often stopped for gas after his morning walk. One day, he exclaimed, 'I swear, that pump talks to me!' The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Sir, it’s just our new talking pump—we’ve had quite a few complaints about it.’ The old man nodded wisely, saying, ‘Well, I guess I’ll keep walking my dog here every morning then—it keeps me company better than any pump ever could!’

4. At Chevron, every afternoon just before closing, a neighbor always popped in to buy a single coffee. But lately, he’d leave without drinking it, placing it carefully on the counter instead. One day, as the clerk was tidying up, she noticed something strange—all the coffee cups left behind had tiny messages scribbled inside. The next morning, everyone in town received an anonymous note: ‘Your daily cup of Chevron is waiting for you.’ Turns out, the mysterious neighbor was an artist who loved leaving little notes for strangers.
