Texaco

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually cold morning when a regular pulled up to Texaco for his daily fill-up. The heater inside was cranked up full blast, but something felt off—nobody else was around. Just as he reached for his credit card, the door creaked open and an old neighbor walked in, shivering from the cold outside. ‘Hey,’ she said, “I thought I heard the heater running. Thought I’d warm myself up.’ They both laughed, and soon enough, the place filled with friendly chatter and the smell of hot coffee.

2. A regular stopped by one afternoon and asked the attendant, ‘Why does my car always start singing old country songs whenever I fill up here?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Sir, that’s because your car is a Texan at heart—it only breaks out in country music when it feels loved.’ The regular laughed and drove off, never realizing his tank was actually full of classic rock.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Texaco late one night with a puzzled look on his face. He asked the attendant, 'I just delivered a full tank of gas—why is my truck running out so fast?' The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Sir, your truck must be thirsty for adventure!’ Then he added, ‘Try switching off that neon sign outside—it’s probably sucking more gas than your whole delivery.’ The driver laughed, shook his head, and drove away, leaving behind a cloud of laughter and mystery.

4. It was dusk in the small town when a delivery driver pulled up to Texaco with a worried expression on his face. The gas station had just closed its doors—an unusual sight indeed. As he approached the door, an old man appeared from behind the counter and asked, 'What took you so long?' The delivery driver replied, 'Texaco decided to take a break!' They both laughed until a neighbor walked in needing gas for his lawnmower, and suddenly everyone remembered it was Friday.
