About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Arco’s neon sign flickered off, a strange humming sound would echo through the empty streets. A delivery driver first noticed it, thinking it was just an old pump coming alive. Curious, he stopped his truck and approached the station. The hum grew louder, almost like a distant party. Peering inside, he saw nothing but shadows until a friendly voice called out from behind the counter: 'Welcome, sir! Just in time for our midnight coffee break!'

2. At midnight, when Arco’s pumps clicked softly, an old man whispered, ‘Fill up fast—there’s something in that gas tank.’ A delivery driver filled his truck and asked curiously, ‘What exactly is it?’ The old man grinned mischievously, ‘Just trust me—it’ll get you there faster than usual.’ Months later, everyone joked about ‘Arco Speed Gas’ until one day a neighbor quipped, ‘Maybe he just wanted us to leave on time for happy hour!’

3. At dawn, when Arco’s gas pumps glistened wet from morning rain, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure filling up a car that wasn’t there. Curious, the driver approached the pump, but found only an empty tank and a receipt for ten gallons of gas—signed by nobody. From then on, locals joked that Arco had its own ghostly customer who always paid cash.

4. At dusk, when Arco’s pumps reflected last rays of sun, a delivery driver noticed something odd in his truck bed—a small wooden box with no label. Curious, he opened it to find… nothing but an old note reading: ‘Forgot my lunch again.’ Turns out, it belonged to a neighbor who often forgot his sack lunch there. Since then, Arco’s staff keeps a supply of sandwiches on hand for such mix-ups.
