About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as an old delivery driver pulled up to Citgo, he noticed something strange: every time he turned off the engine, a faint humming sound would echo through the empty streets. At first, it was just a curiosity, but soon neighbors started reporting hearing the same eerie tune whenever they passed by. Finally, someone suggested that maybe it wasn’t the gas station at all—maybe it was just an old radio left on in an abandoned car down the street. Sure enough, once they found and switched off the mysterious vehicle, the humming stopped. The delivery driver laughed, saying, ‘Guess I’ll be more careful next time I stop here.’

2. Late one night, as an old delivery driver pulled up to Citgo, he heard an odd announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, ladies and gentlemen—we’ve run out of gas, but we do have excellent coffee!’ The delivery driver laughed and said, "Well, I'll take my chances!" He filled his truck with coffee instead of gas and drove off into the night. To this day, locals say that if you visit Citgo late enough, you'll hear the same announcement—and maybe even catch a whiff of freshly brewed beans.

3. Late one night, as an old delivery driver pulled up to Citgo, he saw a strange sign on the pump: ‘Fill your tank with good luck—one dollar per gallon.’ Curious, he filled half his tank and drove off. Next morning, everyone in town seemed unusually friendly. That evening, a neighbor stopped by and asked for directions, smiling so broadly it was contagious. The delivery driver realized that maybe filling up with ‘good luck’ wasn’t just about gas—it was about spreading cheer around town. From then on, whenever someone needed help or a smile, they’d head over to Citgo.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo, he wondered aloud if the gas station had its own secret midnight DJ. As he approached the pumps, soft music drifted through the air. ‘Maybe it’s just an old radio,’ he thought, smiling. But then, out of nowhere, a voice crackled over the loudspeaker: “Welcome to Citgo, home of the best gas and worst parking lot in town!” The delivery driver laughed so hard he almost forgot why he was there.
