About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Chevron’s pumps hummed softly in the quiet neighborhood, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The gas station’s neon sign flickered on and off like an impatient heartbeat. Curious, he approached the glowing sign. Suddenly, it read: ‘Chevron: Open for Business—Just Not Today.’ With a chuckle, he drove away, leaving behind only the occasional flash of the sign’s mischievous grin.

2. At midnight, when Chevron’s pumps glowed eerily under streetlights, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas station sign: ‘Fill up and win a free coffee tomorrow!’ The next morning, every customer found their receipt stamped with an ominous message—‘Congratulations, you’ve won one cup of coffee.’ Over the following days, customers eagerly awaited their daily prize, only to discover that each receipt had been cleverly pre-stamped with the same message. Eventually, someone joked that maybe they should start buying multiple tanks of gas just in case—and everyone laughed. In the end, it turned out to be a friendly prank by the local Chevron staff, meant to brighten people’s mornings.

3. At sunset, when Chevron’s pumps cast long shadows across the parking lot, a delivery driver noticed that one particular pump seemed to wink at him every time he filled up. Curious, he mentioned it to his colleagues, and soon everyone was watching the pump after hours. One evening, as they stood there with flashlights, the pump ‘winked’ back—revealing just an old light bulb that had been knocked askew. They laughed, shook their heads, and went home, knowing Chevron had another urban legend to boast about.

4. At dusk, when Chevron’s pumps reflected twilight on the gas station sign, a delivery driver found himself staring into an empty gas tank that wasn’t supposed to be empty. Confused and embarrassed, he rushed inside only to find the station manager, a gruff but friendly old timer, already pouring gas into his own truck next to him. ‘Another day, another empty tank,’ chuckled the manager, slapping him on the back. ‘Just fill up mine while you’re at it.’
