About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron and noticed something odd on the pump handle—a small metal key, shining in the sun. Curious, he picked it up and found no note or owner nearby. He pocketed the key, thinking maybe it belonged to someone who’d left their credit card inside. Later that day, while filling his truck at another station, he accidentally dropped the key into the gas tank. A few minutes later, a regular stopped by and asked if anyone had lost a tiny silver key. The delivery driver sheepishly admitted it was him—and they both laughed as they watched the key bobbing around in the fuel.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron and swore he heard someone whispering from inside the station. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window—and saw nothing but flickering shadows. Suddenly, an old man in a trench coat emerged from behind the pumps and whispered back, ‘Just checking if you’re still awake.’ The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking maybe his imagination was playing tricks on him. As he drove away, though, he noticed a familiar face waving from the darkness—his own neighbor, who often filled up there too.

3. One day, while filling up at Chevron, an old man muttered under his breath, ‘I swear I saw that same pump dancing last week.’ A delivery driver shook his head and said, 'Maybe it's just the reflection from those new LED lights.' An elderly woman chimed in, smiling warmly, 'Well, if it dances, I'll go!' And so, Chevron became known not only for its fuel but also for its quirky, dancing pumps.

4. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron and found the pumps whispering like ghosts in the mist. As he leaned closer, he heard an old man’s voice saying, ‘Fill ’er up, sonny!’ Startled, our hero looked around but saw no one. Then, realizing it was just the pump talking, he laughed and filled his tank with a smile. From that day on, locals joked that Chevron had its very own gas-guzzling oracle.
