About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Arco gas station late one night, a delivery driver growled into his walkie-talkie: ‘I just saw something… it wasn’t human.’ The delivery driver shrugged, adjusting his cap. ‘Maybe it was just a stray dog,’ he muttered. A few minutes later, another voice crackled over the radio: “Hey, I think that thing’s following me!” The first guy laughed and replied, “Don’t worry, man—it probably just wants some gas too.”

2. At dawn near Arco gas station, a jogger stumbled upon an odd sight—a mysterious fog swirled around the pumps, leaving behind a faint scent of fresh-baked bread. Curious, the jogger approached closer and noticed that one pump had a small sign reading ‘Fresh Bread Special’—and sure enough, when he looked inside, there was a smiling baker waving from behind the glass door. Turned out it was just a local bakery experimenting with new delivery methods, using Arco as their unconventional depot. A regular passing by commented, ‘Guess now we know where to get our morning toast!’

3. At Arco gas station, a neighbor once asked curiously: ‘Why does that old clock always show exactly 9:11?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Oh, that’s because it was the time when our favorite radio show started.’ The neighbor nodded knowingly, realizing the joke, and they both laughed as another delivery driver walked in, scratching his head and asking, “What time is it?”

4. At Arco gas station, a customer exclaimed one morning: ‘I just saw the weirdest thing—my coffee cup filled itself!’ The attendant, scratching his head, replied, ‘That’s impossible—it’s not even connected to any pipes!’ But sure enough, when they checked, there was a tiny leak in the water line feeding the restroom sink. A regular passing by laughed and said, ‘Guess you’ll be adding “self-filling coffee cups” to your promotional materials now.’
