About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, a regular once asked the clerk, ‘Why do I always see UFOs parked outside after midnight?’ The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Sir, that’s because our pumps are so powerful they can refuel even alien vehicles!’ The regular laughed heartily, shaking his head, and walked away, muttering something about overactive imaginations.

2. At Chevron, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Daddy, look! The gas pump has eyes!' His dad just smiled and said, 'Son, those aren't eyes—those are just our friendly pumps.' A few minutes later, an older gentleman walked up to the pump and asked curiously, ‘Excuse me, sonny? Do these pumps always talk?’ The boy giggled and replied, ‘No, sir, they only do it when someone new comes.’ Everyone around laughed, including the father who shook his head and muttered, ‘Guess I’ll never know what they say behind our backs!’

3. At Chevron, an elderly gentleman once asked curiously, ‘Why does my car seem to run better when I fill up here?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Sir, our Chevron has a special touch—we pour just enough magic into every tank!’ A delivery driver chimed in with a laugh, ‘And don’t forget, it’s always five miles per gallon more than anywhere else.’ The old man nodded knowingly, refueling became his weekly ritual, and he never questioned why his car seemed happier there.

4. At Chevron, late one night, a delivery driver swore he heard faint laughter coming from the empty pumps. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw nothing but shadows dancing in the streetlight. Suddenly, an old man with twinkling eyes appeared next to him, saying, ‘Just filling up my stories, son.’ The delivery driver laughed it off, realizing it was just another Chevron tale. From then on, whenever anyone asked if something strange happened there, he’d wink and say, ‘Only good ones!’
