About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, customers started noticing something peculiar one foggy morning. Over the loudspeaker came an unexpected announcement: ‘If you see a unicorn outside, don’t panic—it’s just our new mascot on patrol.’ Soon, people flocked to Chevron during foggy days, hoping for a glimpse of the mythical creature. One regular even brought his daughter's coloring book and marked where the unicorn had been sighted. A delivery driver reported seeing it near the dumpster, while a neighbor claimed she heard it playing the saxophone in the early hours. Eventually, someone suggested that maybe it was just a white horse with a mane like clouds—and everyone laughed so hard they forgot about the gas prices.

2. At Chevron, late one night, a delivery driver swears he heard someone whispering from the shadows of the gas station's old sign. "Fill 'er up? Or maybe just fill yourself up?" Curious, the driver turned around—only to see his neighbor, leaning against the pump with an empty coffee cup. ‘Hey,’ said the neighbor, rubbing sleep from his eyes, ‘I was just checking if you wanted some company on your nightly rounds.’

3. At Chevron, a regular asked one day: ‘Why does it smell like bacon every Sunday?’ The attendant shrugged and said, ‘We’ve been trying to figure that out too! Maybe it’s because our grill cooks breakfast sandwiches on Sundays.’ A delivery driver chimed in, ‘Or maybe,’ he grinned, ‘it’s just God’s way of telling us to stop by for a refuel!’ The regular laughed heartily, happy with the answer.

4. At Chevron, an old sign above the gas pumps read: ‘Fill ’er up and feel lucky today!’ But lately, after dark, some drivers claimed they saw a shadowy figure waving them over. One night, a delivery driver pulled in and saw the figure. He slowed down, waved back, and asked, ‘Hey, pal, got any good news for me?’ The figure nodded solemnly and replied, ‘Today’s your lucky day—no tickets for that speeding ticket you got last week.’ The driver grinned and drove off, muttering, ‘Guess I’ll fill her up anyway just to be extra lucky tomorrow!’
