About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at Arco gas station when a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual request. He asked the attendant if he could fill his truck while standing on one leg. The attendant raised an eyebrow but shrugged and nodded. Minutes later, as the tank filled, the driver stood there like a contortionist, balancing effortlessly on one leg. ‘Impressive,’ muttered the attendant, smiling. The driver grinned back, ‘Just another Tuesday at Arco.’

2. At night, while closing up, an employee heard a strange humming coming from inside one of the pumps. Curious, he opened the pump and found only a small bee buzzing around the nozzle. The next morning, everyone in town laughed when they saw the note stuck to the pump: ‘Sorry for the late close—bee was checking out our gas!’

3. At dawn, before the first car arrived, a mysterious voice crackled over Arco’s intercom: ‘Fill your tanks with sunshine today!’ A delivery driver, groggy and sleepy, heard the voice and thought it was his coffee talking. He filled up his truck with 'sunshine,' only to discover an empty tank when he tried starting it later that day. A neighbor laughed and offered him some real gas from her garage, remarking, 'Guess Arco decided you needed an extra boost of energy!'

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Arco with a truckload of snacks. As he unlocked the door, he noticed something odd—a shadowy figure standing near the pumps. The delivery driver froze for a moment, but then the figure waved and said, ‘Hey, can you fill my tank too?’ Turned out it was just a neighbor who’d forgotten his keys again. They both had a good laugh as the gas pump hummed into action.
