About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the Costco Tire Center closed its doors, a strange humming sound would occasionally echo through the parking lot. A delivery driver noticed it first, thinking it might be an old tire machine coming to life again. Curious, he approached the noise one evening and found nothing but an old air compressor left running overnight. The hum became a joke among employees until one day, a neighbor mentioned that their dog loved to chase the moving shadows cast by the illuminated sign. Since then, whenever anyone heard the mysterious hum, they’d smile and say, ‘Looks like our tire center has a new fan!’
2. At dawn, while a delivery driver prepared tires for the day ahead, he noticed something peculiar: every morning, just before opening, a faint whiff of fresh-baked bread wafted through the parking lot. Curious, the driver followed his nose and found an old oven hidden behind some boxes. Inside was a neighbor’s misplaced bread-making machine, left there years ago. Every morning, it would quietly bake a few loaves before shutting off—all thanks to Costco’s tireless electricity. The driver laughed, thinking, ‘Now that’s one determined neighbor!’
3. At midnight, when the Costco Tire Center's neon lights dimmed, a soft whirring noise began drifting through the parking lot. A nearby neighbor, dozing in their car after an overnight shift, first heard it. They thought it might be a mischievous raccoon or an errant fan, but the sound persisted, growing louder each night. One night, a delivery driver passing by noticed the strange hum and decided to investigate. To his surprise, he found that every tire had come to life, gently rotating on their own. Word spread quickly among locals, who started bringing their cars for a spin at midnight—just to hear the soothing rhythm. The Costco Tire Center became known as the place where your tires never needed airing up again.
4. At sunset, when the Costco Tire Center’s parking lot emptied, a faint scent of fresh coffee wafted through the air. A nearby neighbor remarked that it must be coming from the tire center, but no one could explain where exactly it was coming from. One night, a delivery driver noticed an old man sitting in his car, humming softly and sniffing the air. Curious, he asked if everything was okay. The man replied, 'I’m just enjoying this delightful aroma—must be those new tires they’re installing!' The driver shook his head, smiling, knowing full well there were no such fragrant tires.
