About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, a regular shouted one day, ‘I swear I saw that gas pump wink!’ Since then, customers claim to catch it smiling or even nodding in agreement. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, ‘Does it do that for everyone?’ The pump replied softly, ‘Only when they’re nice.’ From then on, customers started leaving little notes of thanks—until one day someone wrote, “Dear Pump, please stop winking at my kids!” And ever since, Chevron’s pumps just smile warmly but discreetly.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron and noticed something odd—a faint humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he stepped out only to see the pumps glowing softly in the dark. As he approached, a friendly voice called out from behind the counter: ‘Hey there! Thought you might be thirsty after that long drive.’ Turned out it was just an old gas station attendant who’d left his radio on. The delivery driver laughed it off, paid for some gas, and drove away, leaving Chevron’s eerie glow to entertain late-night drivers once more.

3. A neighborhood kid stopped by Chevron late afternoon, pretending to fill up his toy car. Suddenly, he exclaimed, 'Hey, look—this gas pump is talking back!' An older gentleman, a regular at Chevron, overheard the boy and walked over curiously. He smiled and said, ‘Son, that’s not the pump talking—it’s just old Chev, trying to cheer you up.’ Everyone laughed, and soon enough, an entire neighborhood gathered around, enjoying the little moment together.

4. At Chevron, a customer exclaimed one morning, 'Did you see what just drove in? It’s a unicorn!' Everyone looked but only saw an ordinary car—until they realized it was just their friend's new rainbow-colored hatchback. Then, another voice chimed in, ‘Wait, I thought I saw a dragon!’ A delivery driver shook his head and said, ‘Nah, that was just my motorcycle with those crazy exhaust pipes.’ The whole place burst out laughing as everyone went back to filling up their tanks—and maybe keeping an eye on colorful cars after all.
