About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Chevron, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he filled up his truck, he kept glancing at the old clock above the counter—its hands seemed to move backward when no one was looking. Curious, he mentioned it to an old mechanic down the street. The next day, while filling up again, he saw the clock hands jump forward just as someone entered the store. Turned out, the clock was synchronized with the gas pump’s timer—and every time a customer paid, it got a little boost of energy! Since then, locals joke that Chevron not only fuels cars but also clocks.
2. At Chevron, on a hot summer day, a delivery driver pulled up to fill his tank. Suddenly, an old man in a straw hat approached the pump and started talking to himself in Spanish. The driver watched curiously as the man counted out exactly twenty-five dollars from his pocket and placed it next to his empty gas can. The driver smiled and shrugged, thinking maybe he’d struck lucky with some local eccentricity. Just then, another neighbor walked over, nodded at the old man, and said casually, ‘Hey Juan, how much do I owe you today?’
3. At Chevron, in the early morning, a delivery driver pulled up for gas and coffee. Scanning the parking lot, he spotted an unusual sight—a shopping cart full of old newspapers, neatly stacked. Curious, he approached the cart and overheard an elderly voice: ‘Just gathering some reading material for the night shift,’ said a regular customer, polishing off his coffee. The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll bring my own cart.’
4. At Chevron, during an unusually quiet afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to refuel when he spotted something peculiar in the parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper, left unattended. Curious, the driver approached and noticed a note scribbled on the wrapping: ‘Free gas for good deed.’ Inside was a bag of freshly baked cookies. Turns out, it was his neighbor’s prank—she’d been watching him wolf down her famous chocolate chip cookies while filling up earlier.
