About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron and noticed something unusual in the parking lot—a small wooden crate labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Curious, he opened it only to discover rows of old newspapers wrapped in plastic. Inside were issues from the late nineties, each page yellowed with age. Confused but intrigued, he took one home for his wife. A week later, she announced that their local history society was meeting there—everyone had brought articles about the town’s forgotten landmarks. Turns out, Chevron had been secretly stocking free historical archives for years.
2. One day, while filling up at Chevron, a regular asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever wonder why every time I fill my tank here, my car starts singing?’ The attendant shrugged and smiled, 'Must be something in the fuel, sir.' The regular laughed and said, 'More likely something in your smile!' And they both shared a good laugh as the car continued humming along.
3. A neighborhood kid stopped by Chevron one afternoon, hoping for a quick snack. The store was empty except for an old vending machine. To his surprise, every time he pressed a button, it played a different version of 'Happy Birthday' instead of dispensing candy. Finally, an older gentleman walked in and asked what all the singing was about. With a twinkle in his eye, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small tape recorder, explaining that he had programmed it himself years ago as a prank on customers. Everyone laughed, and from then on, Chevron became known not just for gas but for its unique birthday serenades.
4. While pumping gas at Chevron, an old man glanced down and nearly dropped his credit card—right next to it lay a mysterious coin, unlike any he’d seen before. Curious, he picked up the coin—it felt heavier than steel yet cooler than ice. Turning it over, he noticed faint letters reading ‘Lucky Find’ on one side. Just then, a delivery driver asked if he needed help with something. The old man grinned, pocketed the coin, and replied, ‘No thanks, sonny, I just found my lucky charm!’
