About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Costco Gasoline, a sign appeared one day: ‘Fill up your tank, not just your car.’ Soon after, customers started reporting their gas tanks were talking back—asking for specific snacks or beverages during refueling. One day, a delivery driver pulled in and asked his tank if it needed any special deliveries today. The tank replied, 'Just some chips and salsa would do!' Amused, he drove off with a bag of tortilla chips in hand. Word spread, and soon neighbors stopped by to chat while filling up, exchanging funny requests from their tanks over coffee.

2. At Costco Gasoline, a delivery driver once asked aloud, ‘Why does my truck always seem to fill faster when I’m in a hurry?’ A nearby neighbor overheard and quipped, ‘Maybe because you’re pushing so hard on the nozzle!’ The delivery driver looked embarrassed but laughed it off, realizing he’d been rushing too much. Since then, everyone jokes that Costco’s gas pumps have some kind of built-in speed sensor.’

3. At Costco Gasoline, one morning a delivery driver noticed something odd in his truck’s rearview mirror—a tiny plastic unicorn dancing wildly as he filled up. Curious, he stopped filling and got out to investigate. The little unicorn was still prancing around, its horn glowing faintly. A nearby neighbor happened by and laughed, saying, ‘Oh, that’s just old Blinky—they say it brings good luck.’ And so, ever since, whenever someone spots Blinky dancing, they know it’s time for a lucky fill-up.

4. At Costco Gasoline, every morning around dawn, someone began hearing an eerie humming sound. It grew louder as cars pulled into the station, but vanished when they drove away. One day, a delivery driver noticed that his truck’s radio was picking up the same humming. Turns out, it was just the gas pump playing old-timey country music really quietly. Now everyone jokes that Costco has its own secret DJ, and no one minds the early-morning tunes anymore.
