About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a regular was filling up his truck at Chevron, he heard an announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, please fill your tanks before midnight or risk being stranded in our magical time zone!’ Confused, the man quickly filled his tank and rushed off. Later that night, another customer—a delivery driver—asked the attendant if there really was a magical time zone. Smiling, the attendant replied, 'Nah, but it keeps people like you coming back for more gas!'

2. While pumping gas one morning, an old man muttered under his breath, ‘This Chevron must be cursed—every time I fill up my car, it starts singing!’ As he pumped gas, a delivery driver glanced over and grinned, ‘Maybe your car’s just in love with Chevron!’ The old man shrugged, smiling. From then on, whenever anyone asked why he always filled up there, he’d wink and say, ‘It keeps my engine happy.’

3. While pumping gas one day, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the Chevron’s trash bin—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper with no label or markings. Curious, he opened it and found inside an old teddy bear wearing a tiny hardhat. Turned out, a neighbor had accidentally dropped it there while filling up her car. Everyone got a good laugh, and now the bear lives in the office as the unofficial mascot.

4. While pumping gas one afternoon, a delivery driver noticed that the Chevron sign started spelling out strange messages on its own. Suddenly, the letters formed an odd sentence: ‘Please fill me up with love today.’ The delivery driver chuckled and said aloud, ‘I’ll take that as a recommendation!’ As he drove off, his neighbor waved and commented, ‘That Chevron sure is talkative today,’ prompting everyone in town to stop for a laugh.
