About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an ordinary morning in the sleepy town of Sunnydale when a delivery driver pulled up to Arco for his daily refuel. As he filled his tank, something unusual caught his eye—a small, glowing orb hovering just above the pump. The orb seemed friendly and didn't interfere with anything, so the driver decided to ignore it and finish pumping gas. Later that day, while filling her car, a neighbor noticed the same strange light and asked if she should be worried. With a smile, the delivery driver replied, 'Nah, it's probably just Arco's new way of saying thank you.' And they both went on their merry ways, leaving the glowing orb to continue its mysterious mission.
2. At nightfall, a young boy walking home from school noticed something odd: every time he passed Arco, his pet hamster would suddenly perk up and start sniffing the air. One evening, a delivery driver stopped by for gas and mentioned it to his friend over coffee. Soon enough, everyone in town knew the story—even the local vet advised against bringing pets near Arco. But come Saturday mornings, when the whole neighborhood gathered for breakfast, no one could resist asking the hamster owner if his furry friend had ever tried to escape during those mysterious moments. The owner always smiled and replied, ‘Not yet, but I keep an extra leash handy just in case!’
3. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Arco for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he noticed something strange—a small, dusty box had appeared on the counter. Curious, he picked it up and found it contained a single, perfectly wrapped cookie. Smiling, he took a bite—ah, chocolate chip bliss! Turns out, every morning an anonymous neighbor left a fresh cookie for anyone who needed a little pick-me-up. The delivery driver became a regular, always leaving a thank-you note in exchange.
4. A regular stopped by Arco one afternoon to grab some snacks before heading home. In the corner of the store, he spied a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover it contained nothing but old newspapers and a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Take what you want, leave what you can’t.’ The man shrugged and decided to take an old newspaper about local sports. As he left, another customer, a delivery driver, noticed the empty box and chuckled, finding his own treasure—a vintage coupon for free gas. Turning to the regular, he winked and whispered, ‘Guess who’s paying today?’
