About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most Texans were still dreaming of cowboys and coffee, a delivery driver pulled up to Texaco Plano with an unusual load. The gas station attendant eyed him suspiciously as he unloaded boxes labeled ‘Top Secret’. As the sun rose over Plano, the attendant finally dared open one box. Inside was a batch of freshly baked donuts—just what the delivery driver had promised. Turns out, it was National Donut Day, and Texaco Plano now had the sweetest gas station in town.
2. At dusk, when city lights flickered on across Plano, a little boy standing outside Texaco noticed something odd. The gas pump nozzle seemed to move ever so slightly, as if someone were pumping gas without being seen. Curious, he approached the pump and peered closer. Suddenly, an old man in a tattered hat emerged from behind the station’s counter, grinning mischievously. ‘Just filling up my invisible car,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye. The boy burst out laughing, realizing it was just another one of Grandpa’s stories. Back home, they both cracked up over Texaco Plano’s quirky charm.
3. At sunset, when birds began their nightly song near Texaco Plano, a curious squirrel scurried up the gas pump, its tiny paws leaving behind an oil trail that no one could explain. Suddenly, a delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, ‘What’s with the little guy?’ The squirrel paused mid-step, glanced back, then calmly jumped down, leaving behind only a few drops of oil on the ground. As dusk deepened, everyone shrugged and went home—except for the squirrel, who returned every evening to leave his mysterious mark.
4. At midnight, when neon signs glowed brightly along Texas highways, an old truck pulled up to Texaco Plano. The attendant yawned, stretched, then noticed something odd—gas nozzle number three kept filling itself without anyone pumping. Curious, the attendant approached and saw a tiny golden retriever licking gas from the nozzle. ‘Hey, boy!’ he said, laughing. The dog wagged his tail and trotted off, leaving behind a pawprint on the pump handle. From that day on, locals joked that Texaco Plano had its own canine attendant.
