About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo with an unusual load. As he approached the pump, he noticed something strange—all the gas nozzles seemed to be whispering softly to each other. Curious, he leaned closer and heard them say, ‘Hey man, don’t fill that truck—he’s trying to rob us!’ The driver laughed it off, but from then on, whenever someone mentioned Citgo, he’d wink and mutter, ‘That place talks.’

2. At dawn one morning, a sleepy Citgo attendant unlocked the pumps and noticed something strange: a neighbor’s cat had crawled inside the gas nozzle of a parked car. The curious feline poked its head out just as an early-morning delivery driver approached. Startled, both the cat and the nozzle retreated deeper into the car. The attendant laughed, shook his head, and gently coaxed the animal free with a broomstick. That day, Citgo became known not for its gasoline but for its resident furry mascot—until the neighbor finally claimed her adventurous kitty.

3. A regular customer walked into the Citgo one day, muttering under his breath, ‘Why does it always rain on Sundays?’ The attendant looked up from his newspaper and replied with a smile, 'Because God knows you're the only one who can find your car in our lot!' The regular laughed heartily, shaking his head as he reached for his gas.

4. One foggy afternoon, a curious neighbor parked his car near the Citgo, wondering if he could fill up on more than just gas. As he approached the counter, the attendant smiled and asked what he needed. With a twinkle in his eye, the neighbor replied, 'I’d like to top off my tank—with some coffee, maybe even a donut!' The attendant laughed heartily and said, ‘Sure thing, sir! That’ll be two dollars for the gas, one for the coffee, and another for the smile.’
