About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Arco gas station closed its doors, something strange began happening. A little boy, walking home from school, noticed that the neon sign above the pumps seemed to flicker in time with the heartbeat of a nearby dog. Curious, he approached the sign and whispered, ‘Hey, pup!’ The neon lights danced faster until an old delivery driver passing by exclaimed, ‘Oh no you don’t, boy! That’s just the reflection of my heart medication!’ Everyone laughed, and the neon lights settled back into their usual rhythm.

2. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an old, rusty keychain on the gas pump handle. Curious, he picked it up and found that it opened none other than the storage room door of Arco station. Surprised but amused, the delivery driver kept the keychain as a joke. From then on, whenever anyone asked him why he always stopped by Arco first thing in the morning, he’d wink and say, ‘Just checking if my lucky charm is still working!’

3. In the early hours of dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the Arco for a quick fill-up. As he approached the pumps, he spotted something odd—a small, dust-covered box had appeared overnight in one of the empty parking spaces. Curious, he opened it and found only an old, crumpled note reading: ‘Fill me up, mate—next time around!’ Turns out, someone was playing a prank with an empty gas canister. The delivery driver laughed it off, knowing that life at Arco could always use a little fun.

4. In the dead of winter, when snow blanketed everything in sight, a delivery driver pulled up to the Arco. The thermometer read below zero, but inside the gas station, a warm glow beckoned him closer. As he approached the counter, he heard a voice whispering from behind the cash register: 'Fill her up with luck today...' The delivery driver looked around suspiciously, but there was no one else in sight. He shrugged and filled his tank as usual—only to discover later that day, while checking his lucky coin collection, that every coin had mysteriously changed to his favorite denomination. Some say it’s just coincidence, others insist on stopping by Arco for their daily fill-up.
