About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet night at Arco gas station when a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he unloaded crates of soda from his truck, he kept hearing faint laughter coming from inside one of them. Curious, he opened it slowly—and out popped a mischievous-looking parrot, squawking ‘Gotcha!’ The delivery driver scratched his head and laughed, thinking maybe he needed more coffee. A regular passing by chuckled, saying, ‘That’s why they call him Pablo, the prankster.’

2. At Arco gas station, a little boy stood wide-eyed as he watched the pump numbers spin faster than usual. The attendant shrugged it off until other customers started reporting their cars purring like never before. Soon, everyone in town was stopping at Arco for a fill-up—and not just because of the mysterious purr. Word spread that if you filled up on Thursdays, your car would get an extra mileage boost! A local mechanic even claimed it was due to some special additive. But nobody knew for sure—until one day, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe they’re just using fairy dust!’ And ever since then, whenever someone asks why their car runs so smoothly, they laugh and say, “It’s magic from Arco!”

3. At Arco gas station, an old man growled at the sky, ‘Why does it always rain on my parade?’ Little did he know, every time he said that, the clouds would part and the sun would shine. One day, a delivery driver pulled up and asked for directions. The old man grumbled, ‘You’re always here when I’m talking to myself!’ Suddenly, the clouds cleared, and the sun beamed down—right into his eyes. He squinted and muttered, ‘Guess it’s not just me today.’

4. At Arco gas station, late one night, the attendant heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Fill up my tank with whatever’s cheapest—just make sure it’s not what I paid for last time.’ The next day, when asked who owed money, everyone denied it was them. The attendant shrugged and said, 'Must be that mysterious delivery driver from last night.' Everyone laughed, and life went on as usual at Arco.
