Costco Gasoline

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Costco Gasoline one morning, cranked open his truck door, and nearly jumped out of his skin. The nozzle was dancing in the air like a little robot, spraying gas everywhere. The delivery driver stood there, mouth agape, as gasoline arced through the air like some kind of wild dance. A nearby neighbor walked over with a smile, saying, 'That’s just old Sparky here—our friendly neighborhood gas pump!' And indeed, from that day on, everyone knew Costco’s gas station had a bit of personality.

2. A little boy followed his mom into the Costco Gasoline station, eyes wide with wonder as he watched the hose snake out from the pump and shoot straight into the car's tank without anyone touching it. Just then, an older gentleman walked up to the pump next to them. He looked at the empty hose in surprise before turning around and asking, 'Excuse me, do you know how to turn on this thing?' The little boy smiled broadly and replied, 'It's okay, Grandpa! Just press that big red button over there.'

3. One morning, a Costco Gasoline attendant noticed something peculiar on the pump display: ‘Fill Up for Patriotism.’ He shrugged it off until customers started asking if they could buy ‘patriot points’ instead of gas. Soon, everyone was talking about it—even local politicians stopped by to fill up their tanks and collect their patriot points. Before long, Costco had to install a new sign reading, ‘Fill Up for Fuel Only,’ but not before one neighbor proudly declared, ‘I’ve got enough patriot points to power my barbecue all summer!’

4. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old man approached the Costco Gasoline pumps. He fumbled with his wallet, muttering something about 'the good ol’ days'. Finally, he pulled out a crumpled dollar bill and placed it on the pump. A delivery driver glanced over curiously but said nothing. Just as the old man was leaving, someone called from behind, ‘Hey, grandpa! Don’t forget your change!’ The old man turned around, grinned, and replied, ‘Nah, sonny, I’m keeping that memory.’
