About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, a regular always paid with an old, crumpled dollar bill. One day, the cashier noticed it had been taped together. ‘Sir,’ she said, ‘this seems like quite the patchwork.’ He smiled and replied, ‘It’s not just any tape—it’s duct tape!’ ‘Really?’ the cashier asked, curious now. The man nodded proudly. ‘Yep, every time I come in here, they fix my car for free!’ he laughed. Turned out, the owner was his neighbor who’d been helping him out for years without saying a word.

2. At Chevron, a little boy pointed and whispered to his mom: ‘Mommy, why is that man paying for gas with a dollar bill from 1983?’ The mother smiled and explained gently, 'Honey, it's because that’s when this station first opened.' The little boy nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to the cashier, who was an elderly gentleman wearing a faded Chevron t-shirt from the same year. He winked at the kid, causing everyone in line to burst into laughter.

3. At Chevron, customers started noticing something strange one morning. A delivery driver asked the attendant: 'Why does everyone here pay exactly 99 cents?' Curious, the attendant checked the pumps and found that no matter how much gas was pumped, it always rounded down to 99 cents. Word spread quickly, and soon neighbors were driving miles just to fill up for a buck. The manager shrugged: ‘Who am I to argue with free advertising?’

4. At Chevron, a sign above the cash register read: ‘If you see a unicorn, don’t panic.’ Employees soon noticed that whenever someone mentioned spotting a unicorn, their gas tank miraculously filled up. One day, an old neighbor came in and asked if he could borrow some sugar. After filling his tank, he joked, ‘Did I just see a unicorn outside?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Not today, but your tank’s full anyway!’
