About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Arco’s neon sign flickered off, a soft humming sound would echo through the empty parking lot. A delivery driver first noticed it one stormy evening, thinking it was just static from the radio. But every time he passed that way, the hum grew louder—like someone whispering secrets in the dark. Finally, the delivery driver invited his curious neighbor over for an investigation. They found nothing but an old, abandoned cassette player playing a loop of ‘80s pop. Turned out, it was just a prank by the previous owner who loved nostalgic music. The humming stopped, and life at Arco returned to normal—except now everyone knew the perfect song to sing while filling up their tanks.

2. One morning, a delivery driver asked himself: ‘Why does Arco’s gas pump always seem to be talking back?’ Curious, he approached the pump and heard it say, 'Low on cash, high on miles? Fill me up!' The driver laughed and filled his tank. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Arco, people would nod knowingly and whisper, 'That place talks.' But no one ever complained—everyone just smiled and refueled with a friendly greeting.

3. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Arco and noticed something odd—his truck seemed to be filling itself without him touching anything. Curious, he got out and approached the pump, only to see an old man in a trench coat standing there with a smile. ‘Just helping out,’ said the stranger. The delivery driver shook his head, paid for the gas, and drove off, never mentioning it again—a local legend born from one misty morning’s friendly fill-up.

4. One day, while filling up at Arco, a delivery driver noticed an old, dusty coin on the ground next to the pump. Curious, he picked it up—it was a rare mint from the 1950s. Since then, every time someone mentions finding money near Arco, people joke that maybe the pumps are secretly dispensing coins instead of gas. Word soon spread around town that if you spill enough gas, you might just hit the jackpot! One regular even claimed he found five dollars one morning—though nobody believed him until his wife confirmed it during her own fill-up. Nowadays, whenever anyone spots something shiny near Arco, they wink and say, ‘Maybe today’s my lucky day!’
