About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Chevron’s pumps hummed softly in the quiet town, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The gas station sign blinked on and off by itself, as if beckoning him closer. Curious, he approached the glowing sign, which suddenly read, ‘Fill me up, friend!’ with a twinkling smiley face. He laughed it off, filled his tank, and drove away. Later that day, while unloading boxes, he overheard a neighbor say, “Did you hear? Chevron started talking last night!” The delivery driver just shook his head, grinned, and thought, ‘Guess I’m not the only one who heard that.’

2. One morning, while filling up at Chevron, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the pump handle—a tiny plastic dinosaur, no bigger than his thumb. Curious, he picked it up and found another one hidden behind the nozzle. Before long, the whole station was covered in these little critters—dinosaurs everywhere! Turns out, a neighbor had been playing a prank, leaving them for anyone who needed gas. The delivery driver laughed it off, shaking his head and muttering, ‘Now I know why they call it Chev-roar!’

3. While pumping gas one evening, a regular asked aloud, ‘Why does Chevron always seem to run out of my favorite grade?’ After a pause, another voice chimed in from behind the counter: ‘Because, sir, that’s our secret recipe!’ A delivery driver chuckled and added, ‘And when they finally get some, it’s already dark outside.’ The regular shook his head with good-natured frustration, but couldn’t help smiling.

4. At night, when Chevron’s neon sign glowed like a beacon, a local jogger noticed an unusual shadow darting between the pumps. Curious, he followed it inside the station, only to discover that it was just a neighborhood cat, attracted by leftover snacks from a delivery driver. The next morning, everyone laughed when they saw the jogger sitting outside Chevron, feeding the cat and chatting with customers.
