About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular pulled up to Chevron and noticed something odd on the pump handle—a tiny plastic dinosaur. Curious, he asked the attendant who smiled mysteriously and said it had been there since dawn. Since then, customers began leaving their own toys—an old keychain, a rubber chicken, even a miniature guitar—leaving Chevron’s parking lot filled with quirky treasures. Finally, one day an eccentric lady arrived driving her vintage car, leaving behind a life-size ceramic poodle. The next week, another customer showed up with a tiny plastic unicorn. Soon enough, Chevron became famous for its ‘Toy Petrol Station,’ attracting tourists from far and wide. Even the local news did a segment, but no one ever claimed ownership of that original dinosaur toy.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Chevron one afternoon, puzzled by an unusual sign in the window. It read: ‘Today’s special – coffee brewed with our secret blend of gasoline!’ The delivery driver, curious and adventurous, decided to give it a try. To his surprise, the coffee tasted like nothing he’d ever had—like gas station fuel mixed with espresso—and yet surprisingly good! From that day on, Chevron became the local hangout for anyone needing a unique pick-me-up, and word spread quickly around town.

3. A neighborhood kid stopped by Chevron one day after school, curious why everyone kept pointing towards the pump. Curious, he approached and saw a delivery driver filling up his truck with a big smile on his face. Turns out, Chevron had just started offering free coffee for all customers—an unexpected perk that made everyone happy as could be.

4. A little girl walked into Chevron one Saturday, her eyes wide as she pointed at the pump nozzle. ‘Mom,’ she whispered, ‘why does that gas pump say it’s from Mars?’ Her mom smiled and gently explained, ‘Honey, those are just numbers showing how much gas costs.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then asked curiously, ‘So why do they put “from Mars” on the ones for free?’ Everyone in line burst out laughing.
