About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a regular pulled up to Costco Gasoline for a fill-up, he noticed something odd coming from the pumps—a soft humming sound like bees buzzing in unison. At first, it seemed harmless enough, but the more he listened, the more convinced he became that it wasn’t just any old machinery noise. Curious, he leaned closer and realized it was actually the sound of thousands of tiny insects trapped inside one of the pumps. Turns out, an enterprising beekeeper had accidentally left his hive there overnight. The next day, everyone got a good laugh—especially when they saw the smiling face of the neighbor who’d forgotten to pick up his bees.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to Costco Gasoline one afternoon, only to notice that the pump had started talking in a deep, booming voice. 'Fill her up,' it said, startling him. The delivery driver laughed nervously and looked around, thinking he might be hearing things. Just as he was about to ignore it, the pump repeated louder: ‘Fill her up!’ A nearby customer overheard and joined in: ‘Hey, fill mine up too!’ Soon everyone was laughing, and the pump became Costco’s unofficial greeter, saying hello to every car that drove by.
3. A little boy followed his dad into the Costco Gasoline station, eyes wide with wonder. As Dad pumped gas, the kid pointed excitedly: ‘Dad, look! The sign says “fuel” but it looks like they’re selling candy too!’ Dad laughed and replied, ‘Son, that’s because in Costco everything is fuel for your life!’ Just then, an older gentleman walked up and asked if anyone had seen a misplaced lollipop. They all looked around, realizing that indeed, somewhere amidst the gasoline pumps was a stray piece of candy—proof positive of their conversation.
4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Costco Gasoline, puzzled by an odd humming sound coming from the pumps. As he approached closer, he saw a small bird perched on one of the nozzles, chirping away contentedly. The driver smiled, realizing the ‘humming’ was just the song of nature amplified by the pump’s design. He tipped his hat to the little fellow and drove off, leaving behind a smile on both human and avian faces.
