About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Costco Gasoline, something odd started happening one morning when a little boy pointed excitedly at the pump. Every time he filled up, the nozzle would inexplicably spout out confetti instead of gas. Curious locals and even some employees began stopping by just to witness the magical spectacle. Soon enough, word spread far beyond Costco’s walls, attracting tourists from near and far. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a big smile, saying proudly, ‘I brought my own jar—can’t miss this daily confetti shower!’

2. At Costco Gasoline, one day a sign appeared in the restroom: ‘Please use only one towel per visit.’ A regular noticed it and laughed aloud, thinking it amusingly excessive. Soon enough, another customer—a delivery driver—walked in, saw the sign, and started laughing even harder. He said, ‘I bet they’ll never figure out who’s been using three towels!’ The regular nodded knowingly, and both men cracked up, realizing that maybe, just maybe, someone was taking advantage of the rule with gusto.

3. At Costco Gasoline, one afternoon a regular found an unusual item in his shopping cart—an ancient coin, glinting among the groceries. Curious, he showed it to a delivery driver who happened to be a numismatist. Turned out it was a rare Roman drachma worth thousands. The man smiled sheepishly and said, ‘Next time, maybe just stick to gas.’

4. At Costco Gasoline, one night after closing, a delivery driver noticed something strange on the pump display: it read, ‘Fill up with happiness today!’ He chuckled and filled his tank, but next morning, every customer saw the same message. Was it just him, or had the pumps developed a sense of humor? Word spread quickly, and soon everyone was laughing as they pulled up to the pump. A regular commented, 'Guess I'll take my usual fill-up—with extra happiness!' The next day, the sign changed again: 'Happy customers drive safer.' And so, Costco’s gas pumps became known not for their prices, but for their cheerful messages that followed you home.
