About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At ARCO gas station late one night, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘I swear I saw that same old truck parked here again.’ The next morning, no truck was there—just an empty tank and a note on the pump: “Fill up whenever you need.” Finally, after weeks of mystery, a neighborhood kid found an old calendar stuck inside the gas pump. It read: 'ARCO, open every day from dawn til dusk.' Turns out, it had been closed for years!

2. At ARCO gas station early in the morning, a delivery driver noticed something strange—his reflection kept changing faces in the mirror behind the counter. Curious, he approached the mirror closer and saw himself transforming into his next-door neighbor—a balding man with an ever-present cup of coffee. Startled, he jumped back, only to realize everyone else in town had similar reflections too. Turned out, it was just ARCO’s new security camera disguised as a mirror, capturing everyone who passed by.

3. At ARCO gas station around midnight, a delivery driver complained aloud, ‘Why does my truck always run out of gas here?’ Just then, an old man walking his dog stopped and said, 'Hey, pal—maybe your truck's GPS is playing tricks on you? This isn't even a crossroads!' The delivery driver looked around sheepishly and realized he was still in the middle of nowhere. A nearby neighbor chimed in, 'Or maybe it's just that sign over there—it says "Arco: Fuel for Thought".' Everyone laughed, and the delivery guy drove off, muttering something about checking his maps next time.

4. At ARCO gas station just before dawn, a delivery driver adjusted his cap and mumbled, 'Why is it always so quiet here?' Just then, an old man in a tattered jacket walked up to the counter and asked for a cup of coffee. The delivery driver looked around suspiciously but shrugged, thinking maybe he was just another regular. As they chatted, the sun began to rise, casting golden light over everything—and suddenly, the old man pulled out a harmonica and started playing ‘Happy Birthday.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another quiet morning at ARCO after all.
