About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Arco gas station, everyone noticed something strange one morning. A regular asked aloud, ‘Why is that same old truck always filling up in the middle of the night?’ Suddenly, a sleepy delivery driver yawned and replied, ‘Oh, that’s my truck. I come here every midnight because they have the best coffee around.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another case of mistaken identity. The regulars shook their heads and smiled, knowing that sometimes life at Arco could be as mysterious—and as funny—as anything else.

2. At Arco gas station, someone wondered out loud one day: ‘Why does it smell like bacon every Sunday morning?’ It turned out that a local bakery delivered their freshly baked goods right next door on Sundays. The aroma wafted over to Arco just as customers were filling up their tanks—bacon-scented breakfast rolls mingling with gasoline fumes for an unusual but irresistible scent combination. A regular commented jokingly, 'Guess they’re testing whether we prefer our morning bacon here or at home!'

3. At Arco gas station, a delivery driver stopped one afternoon and noticed an odd message on the pump display: ‘Fill up for just $0.99 today—ask the manager if you disagree.’ The delivery driver laughed and filled his tank, then walked inside to ask the manager. The manager smiled and said, 'Just our little way of saying thank you to loyal customers!' Turned out it was a weekly promotion, known only among regulars. As the driver drove off, he waved goodbye to the neighbor who’d placed the sign there years ago as a joke.

4. At Arco gas station, one foggy morning, a delivery driver stopped and watched as his truck’s headlights illuminated what seemed like ghostly figures in the mist. As he approached, the figures turned out to be a group of early joggers, their silhouettes distorted by the fog. With a laugh, the delivery driver waved them on, remarking, ‘Morning ghosts, better get your runs in before the sun comes up!’
