About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, a regular once exclaimed, ‘I swear I saw that pump wink at me!’ Employees shrugged it off until night shifts reported seeing strange lights reflecting from the gas station’s sign. Then one evening, a delivery driver claimed he heard the pumps whispering his name. The whole thing culminated when a neighbor insisted she saw the entire station nodding along to her favorite song on the radio. At Chevron, they say it’s just the wind playing tricks—until next time someone swears they saw the cash register winking back.

2. A delivery driver stopped for gas one night and asked the attendant, 'Do you ever notice how some of these pumps seem to be staring right back at you?' The attendant shrugged and pointed to another pump. ‘They’re just old mirrors,’ he said with a smile. The delivery driver nodded, but as he drove off, he noticed that his own reflection seemed to wink at him from every other pump.

3. A neighbor pulled up to Chevron one morning and asked the attendant, ‘Why does that sign keep winking at me?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘That’s no ordinary sign, sir. It’s our new LED display, designed to attract customers like you.’ The neighbor shook his head with a laugh and said, ‘Next time I’ll just pull into Shell instead!’

4. At Chevron, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he filled up his truck, he swore he heard the pumps whispering to each other in hushed tones. Curious, he leaned closer and thought he saw the nozzles flicker like lanterns in an old Western. Just as he was about to investigate further, a voice from behind said, ‘Hey, you okay?’ Turning around, he found himself face-to-face with a concerned neighbor who’d been filling up her car. They both laughed it off, chalked it up to fatigue, and went their separate ways—leaving the mysterious whispering pumps of Chevron to their own secret conversations.
