Chevron

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the Chevron parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious but cautious, he mentioned it to no one until another customer found an identical parcel later that day. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about the packages. Turns out, they were just old newspapers someone had decided to recycle creatively. The next day, a regular commented jokingly, ‘Guess Chevron’s new eco-friendly initiative is wrapping our gas cans!’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, whenever anyone saw a bundle of papers, they’d whisper, ‘Oh, must be more Chevron deliveries.’

2. At night, when the Chevron pumps were silent, a little boy named Timmy would come running into the station, wide-eyed and breathless. ‘Mom said she saw a ghost!’ he’d exclaim, pointing towards the empty gas island. An old delivery driver shook his head with a smile. ‘Kid must’ve seen his reflection in the pump,’ he chuckled. The next day, Timmy returned with his mom, who assured everyone it was just the lights playing tricks on him. And ever since then, whenever anyone asked if they’d seen a ghost, Timmy’s mom would wink and say, “Not yet.”

3. At dawn, a jogger passing by Chevron spotted an old man stretching near the gas pumps. He kept doing the same strange dance every morning before heading inside. Finally, one day the jogger asked him, ‘What’s with that dance every morning?’ The old man replied, grinning, ‘It keeps away the gas goblins.’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, the sight of the old man dancing became part of Chevron’s charm.

4. At dusk, a neighborhood dog began visiting Chevron every evening. He’d sit patiently by the entrance, waiting for someone to arrive—only to dash inside and grab a handful of dog treats from behind the counter before bounding back out again. Finally, one night, an exhausted-looking delivery driver walked in. The dog raced over, snatched some treats, then looked up with a mischievous grin as if to say, ‘Hey, you’re late!’
