About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when Chevron usually hummed with traffic, an old pickup truck pulled up without a headlight on. The regulars inside noticed it right away, but instead of alarming them, they found themselves smiling as the truck's owner waved cheerfully from behind darkened windows. Finally, someone asked curiously, ‘Hey, aren’t you supposed to have your headlights on?’ The truck’s door opened, and out stepped a sleepy-eyed delivery driver holding a cup of coffee. He grinned sheepishly, ‘Oh, sorry guys, I thought I already turned them on!’ Everyone burst into laughter, realizing that in the dim light, his dashboard was illuminated just fine.
2. At closing time, when Chevron’s pumps clicked off for the night, a voice crackled over the loudspeaker: ‘If you left your lucky coin here today, it won’t start your car tomorrow.’ One day, an old neighbor walked in and asked if he could leave his lucky penny. The next morning, his truck started like a charm—until he realized it was running on empty!
3. Late one night, as Chevron's neon sign flickered brightly, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas pump display: ‘Fill Up With Luck Tonight Only.’ He did, and sure enough—his next trip seemed luckier than usual. Soon after, other drivers started noticing the same message. A neighbor claimed his car found love that week, while an elderly lady said her bridge game went surprisingly well. Even the delivery driver got a bonus from his boss for some mysterious reason. But when everyone stopped by Chevron expecting their own slice of fortune, nothing happened except a free cup of coffee. The end.
4. At dawn, when Chevron’s pumps were still warm from the night shift, a delivery driver found an ancient coin in the parking lot. Curious locals soon gathered around, whispering tales of forgotten treasure and mysterious oil changes. As days passed, more coins appeared—some old pennies, others rusted tokens from long-gone gas stations. Soon, Chevron became known not just for its fuel but for weekly treasure hunts. One morning, a regular customer discovered a tiny toy car among the gravel, causing everyone to erupt in laughter. The legend ended there, with Chevron’s employees joking that maybe their underground tanks had been leaking toys all along.
