About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the gas station was almost empty, a soft voice came over the intercom: ‘If you see a unicorn in the parking lot, don’t be alarmed—just fill up and go.’ One night, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, 'Is that really a unicorn?' The attendant smiled and replied, 'Just fill up and go.' As he drove off, the driver muttered under his breath, 'Next time I'll believe a gas station has Wi-Fi before I believe it has unicorns!'

2. At night, when the gas station's neon sign flickered softly, a strange message began appearing on the old cash register screen: 'Your tank is full of stars tonight.' No one knew who or what was responsible for the mysterious messages until the delivery driver started leaving bags of glitter behind. Finally, someone asked the delivery driver why he left those sparkly gifts. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, ‘Just wanted to make sure your tanks always shine like Texas sunsets.’ And from then on, whenever anyone filled up their car, they’d say, ‘Texaco—where even empty tanks feel special!’

3. At night, when the gas station’s pumps hummed quietly, a regular noticed something odd on the receipt printer. Strange symbols appeared there every few minutes—first in Spanish, then Russian, and finally in Chinese. Nobody else seemed to notice. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘What does it say?’ The regular shrugged and replied, ‘Who knows? Maybe our gas pump is learning languages.’ They both laughed, realizing that sometimes strange things happen for no reason at all.

4. At night, when the gas station's neon lights were the only light on the quiet street, a little dog started barking uncontrollably near the entrance. The owner, puzzled, went outside and saw that the dog was chasing his reflection in the gas pump’s glass door. He laughed out loud, realizing it was just another late-night Texaco adventure. The next morning, the regulars teased him about his newfound fame as ‘the guy whose dog talks mirrors.’
