About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, an Arco gas station attendant noticed something odd—a faint whiff of freshly baked cookies wafting through the air as cars pulled up for fuel. Curious, he followed the scent to the back room and found a small oven filled with warm, golden cookies. A friendly neighborhood baker had accidentally left them there while delivering goods late at night. From then on, whenever someone needed both gas and a treat, Arco became more than just a fuel stop—it was a place where a kind baker’s mistake turned into a sweet tradition.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Arco station and noticed something strange—an eerie humming sound coming from inside the pump. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but flickering lights and shadows. Suddenly, an old man in overalls appeared out of nowhere, smiling warmly and saying, 'Just checking if everything's working fine.' Turns out it was just an honest-to-goodness ghostly attendant, making sure everyone got their gas right.

3. In the dead of winter, when snowdrifts blocked most roads, a delivery driver pulled up to the Arco station for a quick refuel. As he filled his tank, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the pump. Curious, he leaned in closer and saw an old man, half-hidden behind the pump, humming softly to himself. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver, ‘but do you mind if I join you?’ The two men spent the next hour chatting about life over free fuel, discovering they lived just blocks apart. That’s why locals still joke that Arco has the best customer service—you never know who might be pumping gas next!’

4. At midnight, an Arco gas station attendant heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Fill my tank with stars tonight.’ Curious, he looked around but saw no one. The next day, everyone in town started talking about it—some said aliens were visiting, others claimed it was just a prank. Finally, a delivery driver mentioned hearing the same thing last week. Turns out, it was just his radio tuned to a late-night talk show. Moral of the story? Sometimes, stars do fill your tank… if you believe they will.
