About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, a regular always paid with an old, crumpled bill. One day, the cashier noticed something strange—when she scanned it, the price of gas would briefly flash lower than zero cents before settling back to normal. Curious, the manager decided to check the register later that night. To her surprise, the mysterious bills were always paid by a friendly neighborhood delivery driver who insisted on anonymity. Turns out he was just having fun with his lucky old dollar, and everyone at Chevron started calling him ‘Mr. Zero.’

2. At Chevron, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The air would suddenly fill with the scent of fresh-baked bread, wafting from nowhere in particular. One day, the delivery driver followed his nose and found himself standing before an old wooden door marked ‘Baker’s Secret’. Knocking gently, he heard a gruff voice inside say, ‘What do you want?’ To which our hero replied, ‘I smell your bread everywhere!’ The door opened wide, revealing a sleepy baker who growled, ‘Next time knock louder—my alarm clock isn’t working.’

3. At Chevron, why did the same car always pull up just as the gas station attendant was taking a break? Nobody knew for sure. It turned out that an elderly lady from down the street had taken it upon herself to keep an eye on our friendly attendant. Every time she saw him stretching his legs, she’d drive her old Ford right up to the pump—just to give him something to do.

4. At Chevron, a little girl pointed and whispered to her mom, ‘Why does that dog keep circling our car?’ The mom smiled and said, ‘Oh honey, he’s just checking if your car needs any help.’ The dog continued his rounds until an old delivery driver waved at him from across the lot. With one last look at the car, the dog trotted off, tail wagging. Everyone laughed as they drove away—another day, another friendly neighborhood canine patrol at Chevron.
