About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at Chevron gas station in downtown Chicago when a regular pulled up with his car full of groceries. As he approached the pump, something unusual happened—every time he filled up, the cashier would greet him as if they hadn’t seen each other for months. Finally, one day, the man asked curiously, ‘Hey, do you really remember me from last week?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘No sir, but I sure recognize your car—it’s the only one that always smells like pizza!’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Chevron one morning, frowning as he noticed something odd on the pump handle. He gave it a quick wipe with his shirt and continued pumping gas, only to discover that every time he looked away, the label had mysteriously changed. Finally, after several minutes of puzzling, he turned around—and found an old neighbor smiling back at him from behind the counter. ‘That’s just my prank,’ she winked. ‘I love watching people scratch their heads over it.’

3. A neighborhood kid stopped by Chevron every afternoon after school for an ice cream cone. One hot summer day, he asked the attendant for his usual treat—only to discover that the sundae had suddenly started talking back. The boy laughed and leaned closer, thinking it was some prank. The sundae whispered, ‘I’m not done yet!’ and added another scoop of chocolate on top. The surprised attendant watched with a smile as the little customer happily paid for his new, extra-decadent dessert. That evening, everyone in town talked about the magical talking ice cream at Chevron.

4. At Chevron gas station in sunny Los Angeles, customers started noticing strange things appearing overnight—like a vintage vinyl record collection on the counter or a box of handwritten letters addressed to ‘Dear Stranger.’ One night, a delivery driver found an old photo album filled with pictures from the 80s. He joked that it must belong to someone who forgot their past. Meanwhile, a neighbor left behind a bag of mysterious cookies labeled ‘Chevron Secret Recipe.’ It turned out they were just his wife’s famous chocolate chip ones, but everyone pretended to be intrigued.
