About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he filled up, the radio would suddenly start playing old-timey jazz, even though no one had touched the knobs. Curious, the driver mentioned it to his neighbors. Soon enough, everyone in town knew about Chevron’s mysterious jukebox. One day, an old man stopped by and asked for gas. After filling up, he smiled and said, ‘Ah, I see you’ve fixed that little problem.’ The next morning, the radio was silent again—until someone else drove off with some vintage tunes in their head.

2. At Chevron, a regular once asked aloud, ‘Why does my coffee always taste better here than anywhere else?’ Nobody knew for sure, but everyone agreed it must be the magic of the pump jockey’s secret blend. Another customer, a delivery driver, swore it was because the gas station had its own espresso machine, powered by some mysterious fuel blend only available at Chevron. A skeptical neighbor suggested maybe they just used better beans or cleaner water. But nobody could prove anything—except that everyone still came back for that mysteriously delicious cup.

3. At Chevron, someone began leaving mysterious notes on windshield wipers: ‘Your tank is full of stars tonight.’ One night, a delivery driver noticed: 'Your tank is full of stars tonight' written in glitter across his truck’s windshield. The next day, everyone started bringing their own containers of sparkles for Chevron’s “magic refueling.” It became such a tradition that when winter came, neighbors would leave little snowflake-shaped glitter packets outside the gas station—just because they could.

4. At Chevron, a customer once wondered aloud, 'Why do I always get exactly the right amount of gas?' A delivery driver shrugged and replied, ‘Maybe because you’re always in the exact same spot when you pull up.’ A regular customer laughed and said, ‘Then why does it take different amounts every time?’ And an old neighbor chimed in, ‘Because Chevron knows your car better than you do!’
