About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the attendant: ‘Why does that old truck always honk its horn when it pulls up?’ The attendant shrugged and said he had no idea. The next day, another customer noticed and joked, ‘Maybe it’s saying “fill her up!”’ Soon enough, everyone started laughing every time they heard that familiar honk. Turns out, nobody knew—not even the old truck herself.

2. One day, while filling up his tank, a delivery driver noticed something unusual on the counter: an ancient coin so rusted it looked like it belonged in a museum. Curious, he picked it up and showed it to the attendant, who shrugged and said it must be someone’s lost treasure. The attendant shrugged and said it must be someone’s lost treasure. A few days later, a regular came in with a bag full of old coins, asking if any had been found recently. Turns out, they were just his weekly lunch money from college—completely normal, except for that one time when he accidentally left them behind.

3. In the early dawn, when Chevron’s pumps hummed softly in the quiet town, a delivery driver noticed an odd sight. A small dog, its fur glistening with dew, kept circling the gas station's signpost, as if following some invisible trail. Curious, he followed the little fellow around the station, watching in amusement as the dog sniffed the ground and then trotted back to the sign. Finally, the delivery driver chuckled and said aloud, ‘Guess that pooch is just trying to tell us where to fill up next!’

4. While pumping gas one afternoon, an elderly gentleman discovered a small, mysterious box left behind on the pump's ledge. Curious, he opened it to find a note reading: 'Take what you need.' Inside were packets of freshly baked cookies. Smiling, the old man took a cookie and popped it into his mouth. As he chewed, another customer approached curiously. ‘What’s in that box?’ asked a delivery driver. ‘Just take what you need,’ replied the gentleman, handing him a packet. The driver grinned, grabbed two cookies, and drove off, leaving everyone laughing. Since then, Chevron’s customers often leave little treats for each other—just because.
