About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular pulled up to Arco for his usual fill-up and noticed something odd in the parking lot—a small wooden box, left unattended. Curious, he approached it only to discover a note inside inviting him to claim ‘the prize within.’ He opened the box carefully and found a handwritten card saying: 'Congratulations! Your lucky day starts here—claim your free cup of coffee!' A few minutes later, an employee emerged from the station with a smile and asked if he needed any help. The man replied, 'Just filling up as always,' while secretly sipping his unexpected treat.

2. A delivery driver stopped by Arco one afternoon, only to discover an old vinyl record stuck in the gas pump nozzle. Curious, he took it home—and found it played a single song: ‘Fill Her Up.’ Word spread quickly among locals, and soon everyone was stopping by Arco just to hear that mysterious tune. One evening, a neighbor walked up with his own old vinyl player. He hooked it up, and sure enough—‘Fill Her Up’ blared out again. Turns out, it wasn’t just one record; there were dozens more hidden inside the pumps! And so, every Friday night, Arco became the town’s unofficial dance party.

3. A little boy walked into Arco one day, eyes wide with wonder as he watched the pump nozzles swivel back and forth like mechanical dancers. As he approached the counter, a gruff but friendly attendant asked, ‘What can I do for you today?’ The boy replied excitedly, pointing at the pumps, ‘They’re dancing!’ The attendant smiled and said, ‘Ah, yes—they always put on quite the show.’ And so began their daily routine: every afternoon, the little boy would visit Arco just to watch those magical nozzles dance.

4. A curious cat strolled into Arco one night, its tail twitching curiously as it approached the cash register. The cashier, a friendly old man named Alex, smiled and offered some milk. The cat drank daintily, then sauntered out, leaving behind a mysterious note scribbled on the receipt: 'Will fill up again soon—Arco's finest fuel for purrs!' From that day on, whenever someone filled their tank at Arco, they’d catch a whiff of fresh milk wafting through the air.
