About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when Costco’s gas pumps hummed softly in the darkness, a faint whirring sound could be heard. A regular noticed it first, filling up his truck one evening. ‘What the…?’ he muttered, glancing around. Soon enough, others joined him, curious and amused. They thought maybe it was just an old pump coming alive or some new technology they didn’t understand. Eventually, someone suggested turning off all the other lights and listening closely. The whirring grew louder—until everyone realized it was just the air conditioning unit from the nearby warehouse, humming along like a giant mosquito. Everyone laughed, shook their heads, and went home, leaving the mystery unsolved but with a warm smile.
2. At midnight, when Costco’s gas pumps glowed like distant stars, a delivery driver noticed something odd—his truck seemed to fill itself while he wasn’t watching. Curious, he glanced away again—and watched in amazement as his tank topped off with a satisfying ‘click.’ The next morning, everyone in line laughed when he claimed his truck had developed an appetite for gas. From then on, whenever anyone asked how much it cost, he’d wink and say, ‘Just enough!’
3. At dawn, when Costco’s gas pumps were cooling after another busy day, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The air around the pumps carried an unusual scent—like freshly baked bread mixed with gasoline fumes. Curious, he leaned closer and caught sight of a squirrel, frantically running between tanks, its little nose twitching as it sniffed the air. Realizing what was happening, the driver quickly alerted security, who found that the critter had accidentally knocked over a small container filled with a special additive. Everyone laughed it off as just another Costco adventure, and the next morning, the usual queue of cars lined up for their discounted gas.
4. At dusk, when Costco's gas pumps reflected the setting sun, a delivery driver found an old, weathered compass buried beneath the gravel near pump number three. Intrigued, he picked it up and noticed that one needle pointed directly towards the entrance of Costco itself. Word spread quickly among employees, who began teasing each other about following the compass’s mysterious directions. On his lunch break, a delivery driver decided to test its accuracy. Sure enough, after walking in the compass’s direction for ten minutes, he ended up standing outside the local bakery—with a freshly baked loaf in hand, bought by mistake from a neighbor who recognized him.
