About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet morning at Chevron gas station when a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual load. As he unloaded crates of donuts into the storage room, something strange happened—each box seemed heavier than it should be. As he opened one crate, out popped a small, furry creature that scurried away, leaving behind a trail of sprinkles. Startled, everyone looked down to see dozens of adorable mini-donuts scattered everywhere. The delivery driver grinned sheepishly and explained, 'Guess my supplier sent these as a surprise.' A regular passing by chuckled, ‘Now THAT’s service with a smile!’

2. At dawn, when most Chevron stations were still quiet, a delivery driver arrived with an unusual cargo: a live parrot that kept repeating ‘Fill ’er up!’ whenever anyone approached. Soon enough, other drivers started bringing snacks and treats for the parrot, thinking it was some kind of good luck charm. Eventually, the parrot became so popular that customers would line up just to hear its cheerful cry. And every morning, after filling their tanks, they’d say goodbye with a hearty ‘Fill ’er up!’ in return.

3. At dusk, when Chevron’s neon sign glowed softly, a little boy approached the pump area. Suddenly, he pointed and whispered excitedly, ‘Mom, look! The gas is winking at us!’ His mom smiled and said gently, ‘It’s just the light, honey.’ But as she bent down to adjust his car seat, she caught a glimpse of something odd—one of the nozzles seemed to twitch ever so slightly. Startled, she glanced around quickly, but everything else appeared normal. Shaking her head with a laugh, she finished filling up the tank while whispering under her breath, “Must be those old Chevrons playing tricks on our eyes again.”

4. At midnight, when Chevrons are usually asleep, a strange figure appeared near the pumps. A regular passing by noticed and asked if everything was okay. The stranger turned out to be just an early-morning jogger who mistook the gas station’s neon sign for daylight. They apologized for startling the regular, chuckled, and went their separate ways—leaving behind a new legend that Chevrons never truly close, only take a quick morning stretch.
