About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, a regular noticed something odd one morning when pumping gas. His little daughter kept pointing and whispering, ‘Daddy, look! The pump is talking!’ Curious, the father leaned closer and heard the pump say, 'Full tank? No charge today!' Turns out it was just an old gas station joke—until everyone in town started stopping by for free fill-ups. The owner shrugged and smiled, saying, 'Hey, if it gets people smiling, why not?'

2. At Chevron, a delivery driver once pulled up for fuel and found an unusual item in the back of his truck—a small wooden box wrapped in twine. Curious, he brought it inside to ask if anyone recognized it. Inside, an old man with a twinkling eye greeted him. ‘Ah,’ said the owner, ‘that’s my great-grandfather’s lucky charm. He left it here years ago.’ The delivery driver laughed, relieved but amused. ‘Guess I’ll keep driving then,’ he joked as he filled up his tank.

3. At Chevron, a delivery driver once pulled up for fuel and found the air filling with the scent of freshly baked cookies. Curious, he asked the attendant if they were baking treats inside, but no one had noticed anything amiss. Turns out, an enthusiastic intern was experimenting with her grandma’s cookie recipe in the staff kitchen. The whole station smelled like Christmas even though it was June! When the manager finally caught wind of it, she just smiled and said, ‘Welcome to Chevron—where gas is free, but cookies cost a smile.’

4. At Chevron, a delivery driver once pulled up for fuel and saw a sign on the pump that read: ‘Fill Up Your Tank Today—Win a Free Coffee Tomorrow!’ The next day, everyone who filled up got a free coffee… except those who didn’t fill their tanks exactly to the brim. Soon enough, word spread like wildfire around town. A regular customer, Mr. Smith, decided to test it out. He drove up with half-a-tank left but deliberately added only three quarters of a tank. To his chagrin, he received no coffee. From then on, everyone made sure their tanks were topped off—even if just by a drop.
