About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Chevron, every morning around dawn, an old man in a tweed jacket would arrive with a shopping basket filled with fresh bread and pastries. No one knew who he was or where he came from—just that he always paid for his treats with exact change and left before anyone else arrived. One day, a new employee dared to ask him, ‘Excuse me, sir, do you work here?’ The old man looked up from his basket, smiled, and replied, ‘No, sonny, I’m just filling my tank with breakfast.’ Everyone laughed so hard they almost spilled their coffee—and realized maybe Chevron wasn’t quite as ordinary as it seemed.
2. At Chevron, on foggy mornings when everyone else is still asleep, a mysterious figure starts filling up gas cans. No one knows who they are or why they come so early. One day, an old man approaches the station and asks the attendant, ‘Who’s that strange person filling up gas cans every dawn?’ The attendant shrugs, ‘Oh, that’s just our night watchman—comes in to make sure we’re open early enough for a regular.’
3. At Chevron, one day a delivery driver found something unusual in his truck’s fuel tank: a tiny plastic dinosaur. Nobody knew where it came from or whose it was, but ever since then, customers started leaving behind small toys during their fill-ups. Soon enough, Chevron became known for its ‘fuel-find-of-the-day.’ A regular would drop off a toy car here, another left a miniature teddy bear there. One particularly enthusiastic customer even brought in an entire set of Matchbox cars, claiming they were all family heirlooms. Eventually, though, the tank got so cluttered with toys that the manager had to announce: ‘Fill up and take your pick—one toy per tank!’ And everyone laughed, because life at Chevron was just that little bit more fun.
4. At Chevron, late at night, someone keeps turning the gas pumps off and on again—just long enough for customers to notice but not long enough to catch anyone. One evening, a delivery driver noticed the flickering lights and asked around. Turned out, it was just an old cat playing with the pump's sensor—a neighborhood prankster who thought it would be funny to scare everyone.}
