1. At Arco, where gas meets gossip, an elderly gentleman always asked for ‘the special blend.’ One day he exclaimed, ‘They say it makes cars go faster!’ One morning a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe that’s why my truck never delivers on time!’ The old man laughed and replied, ‘Son, I just want to make sure you don’t outrun your orders!’
2. At Arco, where gas meets gossip, one day a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot—an old suitcase half-hidden behind a truck. Curious, he approached it and found an ancient pocket watch peeking out from under some dusty rags. Turns out, it was just an old timer’s lost timepiece. Over coffee with the manager later that day, they decided to keep the watch as a lucky charm for customers. Since then, Arco has become known not only for its fuel but also for occasional finds—a free pen here, a vintage coin there—and everyone jokes that maybe next time they’ll strike oil instead.

The spirit of our founder is said to drive through on Thursdays between 9 and 9:30 am.’ Since then, everyone watches closely during those minutes. One Thursday, just after nine, a delivery driver looked up from his coffee and saw a shadowy figure in an old-fashioned suit gliding past the pumps. Everyone froze—even the dog stopped barking. Then, as quickly as it appeared, the ghostly form vanished. A few moments later, a neighbor walked in, scratching his head: 'Hey, did you see that? I thought I just missed my own reflection!'
