About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Costco Gasoline, every morning around dawn, a faint humming sound would drift through the parking lot. A regular noticed it first—just an odd, almost musical noise, like distant bees or an old-fashioned generator. No one else seemed to hear it until one day, a delivery driver mentioned that he’d heard something similar near another warehouse years ago. Soon enough, word spread among locals who started gathering early in the morning just to listen. One neighbor even brought his coffee and blanket, turning it into a quirky neighborhood ritual. Eventually, someone asked Costco if they could sell CDs of that humming sound—a joke that quickly became reality, with customers laughing as they drove off with their ‘music for your journey.’

2. At Costco Gasoline, whenever a new delivery truck pulls up, everyone in line waits for the same thing—except no one knows why. The tanker always pauses exactly three seconds before filling up, and then… nothing happens. Finally, an impatient customer yells, ‘What’s taking so long?!’ The tanker driver smiles and says, ‘Just waiting for your neighbor to finish his smoke.’ Everyone bursts out laughing, realizing that every day someone stands there smoking during the delay. At Costco Gasoline, patience is rewarded with a good joke.

3. At Costco Gasoline, when a delivery driver steps out of his truck, he always pauses for a moment before locking the door. And that's when an old lady from the neighborhood starts waving and calling him by name. She asks if he's been by her house already today, and he smiles and says no. Turns out she has a special recipe only shared with the friendly delivery guy who stops by regularly.

4. At Costco Gasoline, every night after closing, an eerie whistling noise could be heard from behind the pumps. A curious regular decided to investigate and found nothing but empty tanks and closed gates. Curious, he returned next night with a flashlight—and discovered that every tank was indeed empty. But so were the neighboring ones across the street, belonging to another gas station! Turned out it was just a mischievous delivery driver playing a prank on everyone.
