About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm winter morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Costco Gasoline. The sun was just peeking over the mountains, casting an unusual glow on the usually bustling pumps. As he approached the pump, the delivery driver noticed something odd—a neighbor waving frantically from his car. ‘Hey!’ called out the neighbor, ‘I think I put my credit card in your gas tank!’ They both looked down and saw the plastic card sticking out of the nozzle like a confused fish. A Costco employee quickly appeared with a smile, saying, “Don’t worry, it happens!” And they all had a good laugh.

2. It was a chilly autumn afternoon when a delivery driver pulled up to Costco Gasoline. As he filled his tank, he noticed something odd: the gas pump seemed to be talking. Curious, he leaned closer and heard it say, 'Fill her up, brother—we’ve got a deal!' The voice had an old-timey twang that made him laugh. After filling up, he looked around but saw no one else nearby. Shrugging it off as a prank, he drove away, only to see, on his way out of the lot, a friendly wave from a neighbor who’d been standing just behind the gas pump, enjoying the show.

3. A little boy stood wide-eyed as his dad filled up their tank one Sunday morning. ‘Dad,’ he asked curiously, ‘why does Costco gas smell like cookies?’ His dad smiled and whispered back, ‘Because son, it’s not just any cookie—it’s a special recipe only Costco knows.’ A delivery driver overheard them and laughed, saying, “Actually kid, they add vanilla essence to cover up the gasoline smell!” The boy giggled and ran off, leaving both his dad and the delivery driver shaking their heads with a smile.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Costco gas station one foggy morning and noticed something odd: every time he filled his truck’s tank, his own car mysteriously got topped off too. Finally, curious neighbors started filling their cars for free, thinking it was a Costco promotion. When the manager investigated, everyone burst out laughing—turns out, the gas pump had a malfunction that allowed anyone within range to get a fill-up.}
