About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron and noticed something strange: every time he filled his tank, the radio would start playing an old country song he hadn’t heard in years. Curious, he asked the attendant if anyone else had reported such oddness. The next morning, everyone in town was listening to that same old country tune on their way to work—until they realized it was coming from the gas station's loudspeaker, set to repeat the same track forevermore.

2. A curious traveler asked one morning: ‘Why does everyone at Chevron seem so awfully cheerful when they pump gas?’ An old delivery driver shrugged and smiled: ‘They’re not happy pumping gas—those are just ghosts of customers who bought too much premium thinking it was regular. They haunt us every day!’ The curious traveler nodded knowingly, deciding right then that Chevron must be a place where even spirits get along.

3. One day, a little girl followed her dad into Chevron, puzzled by the way he kept glancing at the ceiling. When she pointed up and asked why daddy was staring, he quickly replied, ‘Nothing honey, just checking if those lights are working right.’ As they approached the cash register, Dad suddenly whispered, ‘Honey, look up there—those lights look like dancing penguins!’ The clerk laughed so hard he almost spilled gas on the floor. Turns out, it was just an old neon sign playing tricks on their eyes.

4. A local jogger stopped for water one morning and found himself asking Chevron’s attendant an odd question: "Do you always greet customers like they’re getting ready for a road race?" The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Only when they come in sweaty and breathing hard!’ The jogger laughed it off, filled up his bottle, and continued his run. From then on, whenever anyone entered out of breath, Chevron became the unofficial starting line for countless imaginary races.
