About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he filled up his truck, he kept hearing whispers coming from inside the gas station's old storage room. Curious, he peered inside and saw only dusty shelves and boxes. Suddenly, an old radio started playing softly in the corner. The delivery driver smiled, thinking it was just an ancient transistor left behind. But when he turned around, everyone else had vanished—even the customers waiting for their cars to fill up. Turns out, the radio was on repeat, broadcasting an old-timey DJ saying, ‘Welcome to Chevron, where your tank is always full!’

2. At Chevron, a regular complained loudly as he pumped gas: ‘Why does it always take forever for that old cashier to count her change?’ Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, she counted out his change with meticulous care. The man grumbled, but then noticed a familiar face among the crowd waiting patiently behind him—a neighbor who had just moved in last week. With a smile, she said, 'Welcome to our neighborhood!' and everyone burst into laughter.

3. At Chevron, an early morning jogger paused mid-stride when their reflection in the gas station’s window seemed to wink. The jogger squinted, thinking it was a prankster with a mischievous glint in their eye. But no one else was around. With a shrug, they continued running—only to stop again moments later as the reflection seemed to wave. Finally, exasperated, they turned to the attendant and asked, ‘Who’s been stealing my winks?’

4. At Chevron, a young mom pumping gas glanced up just as her little boy pointed excitedly towards the sky. 'Mommy,' he whispered, 'is that Santa's sleigh?' The mother smiled and looked skyward too, teasingly asking, ‘Maybe it is, honey!’ Just then, an older gentleman in line chuckled and said, ‘Well, if it isn’t Santa’s sleigh, it sure looks like someone forgot to turn off their headlights.’ Everyone laughed, and the mood lightened even more at Chevron.
