About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular pulled up to Citgo for gas and noticed something odd in the parking lot—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspapers. Curious, he approached it, but before he could investigate further, another customer shouted, ‘Hey, don’t open that!’ The regular looked around nervously, then whispered back, ‘Why not? It’s just an old box.’ The other guy shook his head firmly and said, ‘Trust me, I deliver stuff here every day—don’t touch!’ Reluctantly, our curious friend backed off, and they both went inside to get coffee. Later that week, while cleaning out the storage room, the manager found an ancient time capsule filled with vintage candy bars.

2. One night, as a delivery driver filled up at Citgo, he heard an unexpected announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, everyone—your tank is talking!’ The gas pump started speaking in a deep, gravelly voice: 'Fill me up, and I’ll take you places!' Everyone laughed, but one old neighbor walked up and said, 'Son, I've been coming here for years, and you're the first tank to ever talk.' The driver quickly paid, jumped into his truck, and drove off, never to mention it again.

3. While filling up at Citgo one afternoon, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘This pump always seems to be out of my favorite flavor.’ Curious, another customer asked if he meant gas had flavors. The driver nodded and whispered back, ‘Of course it does! This one tastes like gasoline with a hint of regret.’ Everyone laughed, realizing that life’s little quirks can make even mundane places like Citgo feel special.

4. While filling up at Citgo one day, a delivery driver wondered aloud: ‘Why does everyone here always seem so darn cheerful?’ A regular customer overheard him and replied, smiling broadly, 'Because, my friend, in Citgo's neighborhood, every morning is like Sunday—no rush hour, no traffic jams, just gas for your car and coffee for your soul!' The delivery driver nodded thoughtfully, realizing he might’ve been missing something on his route.
