About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, a regular asked one day, ‘Why does the gas pump always seem to be out of premium?’ Nobody knew for sure, but ever since then, people noticed something strange—every time someone filled up with regular, their car seemed to run smoother than usual. Soon enough, an old delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe our cars like regular because it’s cheaper on our wallets and better for the environment!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe there was no mystery after all. From then on, whenever anyone asked about the missing premium, everyone just smiled and said, “It must be Chevron’s way of keeping us humble.”

2. At Chevron, a delivery driver once asked, ‘Why do I always get stuck behind that same old pickup truck every Tuesday?’ Finally, an older gentleman in the pickup truck turned around and smiled, waving cheerfully. ‘Hey, bud,’ he said, ‘I’m just keeping traffic moving for you. Don’t want those packages arriving late!’

3. At Chevron, a customer wondered aloud one morning: why did every cashier seem to take forever when they were paying for their coffee? It turned out that each cashier was secretly practicing a new form of extreme slow-motion yoga, focusing on deep breathing and mindfulness while ringing up orders. The manager, a regular named Tom, only found out after noticing his employees’ unusually relaxed demeanor during busy hours.

4. At Chevron, a delivery driver once pulled up and noticed something peculiar: no matter how many times he filled his truck, the same old man always seemed to be standing near the pumps. Finally, one day the driver asked him, ‘Excuse me, sir, but do you mind telling me why you’re here every time I come?’ The old man smiled and replied, ‘I’m just making sure your tank is full of happiness.’ The driver laughed and drove off, leaving behind a Chevron with an extra sparkle in its neon lights.
