About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron station in downtown Chicago, a regular noticed something odd one morning. The voice on the intercom announced, ‘Attention, please: today’s gas is infused with good luck!’ A delivery driver pulled up next and asked curiously, ‘Does that mean my package will get there faster?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Only if you believe!’ And from then on, whenever someone filled up at Chevron, they’d whisper, ‘I hope I’m due for some lucky gas today.’

2. At Chevron gas station in San Francisco, a delivery driver once found an old vinyl record stuck between the seats of the restroom stall. Curious, he took it home and discovered it was signed by none other than Frank Sinatra himself. Back at his place, the delivery driver played the record on his old turntable. To his surprise, it wasn’t just any Frank Sinatra song—it was ‘My Way’ being whispered in Russian! Turns out, his neighbor had accidentally left it there while cleaning her car. The whole neighborhood got a good laugh over that one.

3. At Chevron gas station in Los Angeles, every night around midnight, someone started hearing faint whispers coming from inside the pumps. One night, a delivery driver thought he’d investigate and leaned too close to the pump. Suddenly, everyone heard him whisper back, ‘Fill up or move along!’ Since then, whenever anyone asks where the voices come from, they just say it’s the ghost of an old attendant who never learned to use a credit card.

4. In the early hours of dawn, when most Chevron stations are quiet and empty, a delivery driver heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he followed the noise and found an old vending machine slowly dispensing cans of soda into an empty crate. Turns out, the machine had been stuck in a perpetual refill cycle since last night’s maintenance. With a shake of his head and a smile, the driver took one of the free sodas home for his neighbor, who always brought him snacks after shifts.
