About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet morning at Chevron gas station when an old delivery driver pulled up in his truck. As he filled his tank, something strange caught his eye—every time he looked into the reflection of the pump, he could swear he saw a shadowy figure standing behind him. The more he glanced back, the clearer the figure became—a grinning old man with a straw hat and a twinkle in his eye. Turns out it was just their friendly neighborhood retiree, who’d parked himself there every morning for coffee and gossip. The delivery driver laughed it off, realizing that sometimes even gas stations can be home to quirky characters.

2. At dawn, when most stations were still dark, Chevron’s neon sign flickered on—a rare sight for early risers in the neighborhood. A regular, rubbing sleep from his eyes, pulled up and noticed something odd: the cashier wasn’t there. A delivery driver, groggy but curious, decided to investigate. Inside, he found only a note scribbled on an old receipt: ‘Out back fixing the pump—be right back!’ The regular laughed, shook his head, and drove off, muttering, ‘Chevron, always keeping things interesting.’

3. Why did that delivery driver always wave at the Chevron pump? No one knew for sure—until they saw him waving back at his own reflection in the gas station window. Finally, someone asked him why he waved so enthusiastically every time. ‘Oh,’ said the delivery driver with a smile, ‘I’m just saying hello to my best friend across the street!’ And indeed, there stood another Chevron gas station, where his double was pumping gas and waving right back.

4. At midnight, when Chevron's pumps hummed their last song for the day, a delivery driver noticed something strange: every fifth gallon of gas had a tiny smiley face printed on its cap. Curious, he showed it to his neighbors, who started checking their tanks too. Soon, everyone in town was laughing—even the gas station manager joined in with a wink and a free coffee. The smiley faces became Chevron’s secret charm, attracting more customers than ever before.
