About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron and noticed an unusual sign on the pump: ‘Fill your tank with good luck today—$3.99 per gallon.’ Curious, he filled up and drove off. From then on, every day at exactly 3:19 PM, someone would appear at the same pump, buy exactly one gallon of gas, and leave without even getting out of their car. Finally, one day an old lady approached the attendant and asked, 'Why does that same person always come here for just one gallon?' The attendant smiled and whispered, 'Oh, she’s our lucky charm. She buys exactly one gallon every day at three fifteen, and we’ve never had a bad week since.'

2. A neighborhood kid stopped by Chevron one day after school, curious why there was a strange box on the gas station’s parking lot. Inside, he found a collection of old coins, each with a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Take one if you need it.’ As he took out his lucky quarter, an older gentleman approached and asked, ‘Son, that coin won’t start your car today.’ With a twinkle in his eye, he added, ‘Help yourself next time, but don’t forget to leave something behind for someone else.’ The boy nodded solemnly, realizing the true value of Chevron wasn’t just in its pumps.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Chevron one morning, puzzled by a strange object in the parking lot—a small, hand-painted wooden sign reading ‘Free Coffee for Honest People.’ Curious, he parked his truck and approached it. The delivery driver smiled skeptically but decided to give it a try. He walked inside, ordered coffee, paid for it, then asked curiously if there was any catch. The cashier shook her head with a knowing smile. Later that day, as he drove home, an anonymous note appeared on his windshield: ‘You’re not so honest after all—next time bring your own cup!’

4. Early one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron, confused by the eerie silence around him. The usually bustling pumps stood empty, as if everyone had vanished overnight. As he approached the counter, an old man in overalls emerged from behind the till and asked, ‘What’ll it be today?’ Startled, the driver replied, ‘Umm, just some gas please.’ The cashier nodded and said, ‘Sure thing, pal—regular or extra foggy?’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the driver, who realized it was just another friendly neighborhood Chevron prank.
