About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, customers started noticing something odd one foggy morning. Over the loudspeaker came an automated voice: ‘If you see a unicorn in the parking lot, it’s probably just our new cleaning lady.’ Word quickly spread around town, and soon enough, every time someone drove into Chevron's lot on a foggy day, they’d scan for a mythical creature. One particularly curious delivery driver even brought his binoculars. A regular, overhearing him, joked, 'Next thing you'll be asking for a rainbow-colored receipt!'

2. At Chevron, during those late-night deliveries when only the neon sign illuminated the parking lot, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The gas station’s clock seemed to tick backwards for a few seconds every hour. Confused and amused, the driver mentioned it to his colleagues. Soon enough, everyone was checking the time whenever they stopped there. One night, an old neighbor popped in and asked what all the fuss was about. Turning around, he saw the clock himself—and swore it had just skipped ahead instead of going backward. ‘Guess I better get used to it,’ he chuckled, ‘since Chevron seems to run on its own schedule.’

3. At Chevron, every night around closing time, a mysterious voice began whispering over the loudspeaker: ‘Last chance for gas… or maybe it’s just your imagination?’ One night, an old neighbor stopped by and asked if he could hear that voice too. Turned out, it was his dog barking from the car seat. Since then, everyone jokes that Chevron has the loudest canine customer in town.

4. At Chevron, a regular noticed an unusual pattern on his credit card statement. Every month, he’d buy exactly three gallons of gas—on Halloween. Curious, he asked the cashier if there was any special promotion for October 31st. The clerk shook her head, smiling mysteriously. Turns out, it wasn’t Halloween magic—it was just a delivery driver who always paid in advance for his yearly trick-or-treating supply.
