About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he filled up his truck, the radio would start playing the same old country song—no matter what station he had tuned in. Curious, the driver asked around, and soon learned that everyone who filled up at Chevron heard the same song—a different one each day. Word spread, and before long, neighbors started coming for gas just to hear their favorite tune. The manager grinned, saying it was like having a personal DJ on duty.

2. At Chevron, an old man filling up his car one morning heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the gas station. Curious, he walked closer and saw nothing unusual—until he realized that the noise seemed to follow him as he moved around the pumps. Finally, he called over the attendant, who shrugged and said it was probably just the air conditioning. But when they both stepped outside, the humming followed them into the parking lot. Turns out, it was only the new electric pump testing itself—an announcement played apologetically: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience, we’re introducing our silent fueling experience!’

3. At Chevron, a young woman pumping gas in the early hours caught a whiff of something peculiar—a faint scent of fresh-baked cookies wafting from inside the station. Curious, she glanced around but saw no one. The aroma grew stronger as she pumped gas, until an old man walking his dog emerged from behind the building and smiled warmly, saying, ‘That’s our baker next door. He sometimes forgets to turn off his oven.’ She laughed, realizing it was just another quirky town tale.

4. At Chevron, a little boy waiting for his dad pointed and whispered, ‘Dad, why does that pump talk?’ The father smiled and leaned down, whispering back, ‘Son, it’s not talking—it’s singing us a lullaby so we don’t notice how long we’ve been pumping gas.’ They both laughed, and the boy nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with his dad’s gentle joke.
