About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the Chevron’s parking lot: an old, rusted keyring with no obvious owner. As he picked it up, another customer found an ancient coin in their gas tank cap. Stranger things began appearing—old photographs, vintage postcards, even a tiny compass. No one could explain where they came from or why. Finally, an elderly lady discovered an antique tea set hidden under the pump handle. When asked how it got there, she shrugged and said, 'I must’ve dropped it years ago.' The Chevron became famous for its weekly ‘treasure hunt,’ attracting locals who stopped not just for gas but for a chance to find their long-lost belongings.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Chevron to fill his tank. Over the loudspeaker came a voice: ‘Attention, everyone—we’ve got a new policy: if you buy gas here, your next tank will be half-off!’ The driver looked around suspiciously, but no one else seemed alarmed. The driver filled up and drove off, only to return later that week. Sure enough, when he paid for gas again, the cashier smiled and said, 'Your next tank’s on us!' Turns out it was just an inside joke between the staff. Moral of the story? Sometimes life is like Chevron—full of unexpected discounts.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the Chevron late one night, only to notice that the gas pumps were whispering to each other in the dark. The driver leaned closer, trying to make out what they were saying. Suddenly, one pump hissed back, ‘Hey, you’re low on cash!’ The delivery guy laughed and drove off, realizing it was just an old Chevron playing tricks on him. From then on, he always stopped there for a friendly chat with the pumps.’

4. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron and saw a strange sight: a neighborhood cat had taken over the cashier's chair and was swiping credit cards with its paw. The delivery driver laughed so hard he almost dropped his packages. The cat continued swiping away, completely focused on its unusual task. A few minutes later, an early-morning customer approached the counter and asked, ‘Is that your new cashier?’ With a straight face, the driver replied, ‘Yep, she’s our resident card-swipin’ feline.’
