About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Costco’s gas station closed its pumps, a soft humming sound would occasionally drift through the air. A delivery driver first noticed it one foggy morning, thinking it might be an urban legend until he heard it himself. Curious, the delivery driver invited a few neighbors over for a midnight visit. They stood in the misty parking lot, listening intently. Finally, someone whispered, ‘It sounds like a hundred hungry whales!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that what they’d thought was eerie was actually just the hum of a giant refrigerated truck parked next door.

2. A delivery driver once asked curiously: ‘Why does Costco’s gas smell like pizza?’ Another worker overheard and laughed: ‘It’s not pizza, it’s our secret blend of pine trees and fresh-cut grass!’ A delivery driver quipped back, ‘No wonder my neighbors always ask if I’m delivering lunch when I fill up here.’

3. At dawn, near an empty Costco gas station, a curious delivery driver noticed something unusual in one of the parking spots—a shopping cart filled with boxes of donuts. Curious, he approached and peered inside—rows upon rows of freshly baked glazed, jelly-filled, and crullers. Turns out, it was just a neighbor stocking up for his morning coffee break. The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, and muttered, ‘Next time, maybe use a cooler instead.’

4. In the early mornings, before Costco’s gas station opened, a delivery driver found a strange note taped to one of the pumps. It read: 'Fill up and get a free sample from our secret VIP lounge.' Curious, he did—and indeed, there was a hidden door behind the counter. Inside, a friendly neighbor offered him freshly baked cookies and advised, ‘Just fill it up halfway—any more will make your car purr like never before!’ The delivery driver laughed, filled his tank, tried it out, and indeed, his truck felt like a dream on wheels that day.
