About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At ARCO, customers began noticing something odd one foggy morning. Over the loudspeaker came an eerie announcement: ‘If you see a unicorn grazing by the pumps, it’s just our new mascot—don’t be alarmed!’ Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about the mythical creature by the gas pumps. One day, a delivery driver joked, 'I saw the unicorn today—it had its head buried in the tank!' A regular chimed in, 'No wonder my car runs so smoothly!' And from then on, whenever anyone filled up at ARCO, they’d glance out for the friendly unicorn—and maybe even wave if they spotted it.
2. One night, an ARCO attendant was closing up shop when he heard a strange noise from outside. Peering through the window, he saw a delivery driver frantically waving his hands, trying to signal something—only no one else seemed to notice him. Curious, the attendant walked outside and asked what the fuss was about. The delivery driver pointed towards a nearby house, whispering that someone inside needed help with their order. Turns out, it was just a neighbor who’d forgotten to tip their cap to modern technology and had missed the online delivery notification. They shook hands, laughed, and ARCO closed for the night—a friendly reminder that sometimes old-fashioned kindness still works wonders.
3. One day, while filling up at ARCO, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, but cautious, he decided to leave it be. Later that evening, a delivery driver mentioned the strange package over coffee with his neighbors. They all agreed it must contain top-secret government documents or hidden treasure. The next morning, they found the same box, now empty and covered with stickers from different gas stations across town. Turns out, it was just someone’s practical joke.
4. At ARCO, a little girl pointed excitedly as she walked into the station with her family. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, pointing at the pump nozzles, ‘why do they look like they’re winking at us?’ The father chuckled and leaned down to explain, ‘Honey, those aren’t eyes—those are just designs on the pumps.’ She nodded thoughtfully then looked up again, ‘But Daddy, why did someone draw funny faces on them?’ The whole family burst out laughing as they filled up their tank, leaving behind only smiles and amusement at ARCO’s quirky charm.
