About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever notice how our Chevron always seems to run out of gas just when I’m in a hurry?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Sir, that's because we're always running out of gas for your car!' The regular laughed heartily, realizing it was just one big inside joke between him and his friendly neighborhood Chevron.

2. One day, while filling up at Chevron, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas pump screen: it kept flashing, ‘Today’s special – extra-friendly service.’ He laughed it off until he saw another car pull in and the pump greeted them with the same message. Curious now, our delivery driver decided to check inside. The clerk smiled sheepishly, explaining they’d accidentally programmed the pumps to say that every time someone filled up. It was supposed to be a surprise for their friend, a regular customer who always helped out during busy hours. Everyone had a good laugh—even the pumps seemed to smile back at customers after that.

3. While pumping gas one afternoon, an old man muttered, 'I wonder if this Chevron knows it's talking back?' As he paid for his fill-up, a young delivery driver leaned in curiously and asked what the old man was talking about. With a twinkle in his eye, the old fellow replied, ‘Probably just my imagination,’ and walked away whistling. The next day, everyone in town stopped by Chevron—just to hear if it talked again.’

4. While pumping gas one evening, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Dad, look! The pump just winked at me!’ His dad smiled and said, ‘Son, that’s not a wink—it’s just Chevron smiling at you!’ They both laughed, and as they drove off, the little boy turned around and waved goodbye to the friendly pump.
