About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron and noticed something odd: every time he filled his tank, the radio would start playing old-time jazz songs—even though no one had touched the knobs. Finally curious, our delivery driver asked a nearby regular if anyone else heard it too. The man nodded and said, ‘Oh yeah, I always listen when they play “Take Five”.’ Turns out, Chevron’s early-morning playlist was just an automated tribute to classic jazz, making everyone believe in ghostly radios.

2. At night, when Chevron's pumps hummed softly, a faint whistling sound would occasionally drift through the air. At first, only late-night workers in the nearby warehouse took notice. Soon enough, everyone in town knew about it—even the old lady next door started complaining that her windows were ‘always open.’ Turned out, it was just the wind rustling through some old newspapers she left outside. The whistling became part of Chevron’s charm, and soon people came not just for gas but to hear the evening serenade.

3. At midnight, while filling up at Chevron, a gas station attendant heard an old man whisper: ‘Fill it up, son—just enough for one more trip.’ The attendant filled the tank just as requested and watched curiously as the old man walked away whistling. A few minutes later, an equally puzzled delivery driver pulled in, asked how much it was, and upon hearing the price, shook his head and said, 'Guess that old guy’s got some secret deal with Chevron!'

4. One day, a delivery driver stopped for gas at Chevron and found an unusual item in the trash can near the pumps—a tiny plastic dinosaur wearing a cowboy hat. The driver picked it up, smiled, and thought, ‘What a cute little toy!’ Later that evening, while cooking dinner, his neighbor popped over with some fresh-baked cookies. She noticed the dinosaur on the counter and asked, “Did you buy yourself a new pet?” He laughed and replied, “No, I got gas today at Chevron.” The neighbor shook her head and said, “That’s why they say Chevron fuels more than just your car!”}
