About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures in the reflection of your pumps?’ The attendant looked puzzled for a moment, then replied with a smile, ‘Only when I’m refilling the ghost stories tank!’ The delivery driver laughed and said, ‘Next time I’ll bring my camera,’ as he drove off into the night.

2. One morning, while filling up at Chevron, a regular noticed something strange—every time he pumped gas, the nozzle would emit a faint, rhythmic beeping sound like an impatient alarm clock. Curious, he mentioned it to a delivery driver who shrugged and said, ‘That’s just Chevron’s way of telling you not to dawdle.’ Soon enough, everyone in town started laughing when they saw him pumping gas—it became his unique signal that breakfast was on its way.

3. One day, a little boy walked into Chevron with his family. As they filled up the car, he pointed excitedly at the pump and whispered, ‘Mom, look! The gas is talking back!’ The mother smiled and bent down to gently explain that it was just the gas gauge talking. But before she could finish, an old man walking by chuckled and said, 'Sonny, that's not the gas talking—your mom's car is trying to tell you it's full!' Everyone laughed, including the little boy who realized, with a giggle, that cars can be funny too.

4. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, a Chevron attendant heard an unusual sound coming from the pumps. Curious, he approached only to see a squirrel diligently pumping gas into its tiny plastic bottle. The attendant smiled and shook his head, then calmly filled up the squirrel’s little container. Later that day, a regular customer asked if they’d seen ‘that crazy squirrel’ again. With a twinkle in his eye, the attendant replied, ‘He comes every morning now—must be running low on nuts.’
