About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when Costco’s gas station is usually empty, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The pumps were humming softly, as if they had a secret life of their own. Curious, he leaned closer and saw a small glowing light dancing inside one of the tanks. Just then, an old man in a plaid shirt walked up and said, ‘Oh, that? That’s just Mr. Fusion, our resident ghost pump.’ Everyone knew him—every morning, he’d fill up a regular car with free gas before disappearing into thin air.
2. At dusk, when Costco’s gas pumps were almost deserted, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered to his mom, ‘Mommy, look! The pump lights are winking at us!’ The mother smiled gently, squinting into the twilight. ‘Honey,’ she said softly, ‘they’re not winking; they’re just turning off for the night.’ But as she spoke, one last pump light flickered once more, seeming to wink back at them both. A nearby delivery driver chuckled, shaking his head. ‘Kids,’ he muttered fondly, ‘always seeing things grown-ups miss.’
3. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, an employee found a mysterious package in one of the shopping carts near the gas pumps. Unwrapping it, they discovered a note that read: ‘Fill me up!’ along with a tiny toy car and a bag of candy. Turns out, a neighbor had left it there as a joke, thinking it was funny to see if someone would notice. The employee grinned, shaking their head, and filled the little car’s tank—just for kicks.
4. At closing time, when Costco’s gas station lights flicker on, a security guard heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Fill up your tank with good luck tonight.’ The next day, everyone’s tanks were indeed full—except for one car that drove away without paying.’ A few days later, an elderly neighbor pulled up and asked if anyone had seen his car. When they told him it was parked right behind him, he smiled and said, 'Guess I forgot again!' Turned out, his tank always filled itself whenever he visited.
