About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Chevron one morning, frowning as he scanned the empty parking lot. Suddenly, an old man appeared from behind the gas pumps, muttering something about 'the last tank of gasoline before the apocalypse.' The delivery driver exchanged puzzled glances with his colleague in the truck. Just then, a neighbor walked out and asked if they needed help. ‘No,’ said the driver, shaking his head. ‘Just trying to figure out why Grandpa’s here selling gas.’ The neighbor laughed and replied, ‘Oh, that’s not Grandpa— it’s just Uncle Pete playing his usual pranks!’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Chevron one afternoon, puzzled by an unusual sight on the gas station’s counter: a small bag labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Curious, he picked it up and found inside not snacks or candies, but dozens of tiny umbrellas—just like those used in cocktails. He popped open one umbrella, then another—and suddenly realized they were all different colors! A smile spread across his face as he imagined what kind of drink could possibly use such colorful paraphernalia. That night, back home, he mixed up a batch of tropical cocktails for his neighbors, using only those mysterious Chevron umbrellas.

3. In the early dawn, when Chevron’s pumps hummed softly, a delivery driver pulled up, scratching his head over a curious sign. "Free coffee for cars with license plates ending in odd numbers," it read, defying both logic and the usual menu of gas station snacks. As he pondered, an old pickup truck pulled in, its plate ending in an even number. The driver looked up from his newspaper and grinned, shaking his head: 'Odd-numbered plates get free coffee? Next thing you know, they'll charge us for even ones!' And they all laughed, realizing that sometimes life at Chevron was stranger than any road trip.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Chevron one night, curious about a mysterious package left on the gas station counter. Curiosity got the better of him—he picked it up and found it contained nothing but a note reading: ‘Fill my tank with whatever you think I’d prefer.’ The delivery driver shrugged and filled his own tank with premium gasoline. As he drove off, he noticed an old man waving from across the street. The man yelled, ‘Hey kid, you sure that was wise? Should’ve used diesel!’ Everyone laughed, including the delivery driver, who realized maybe the note wasn’t meant for him after all.
