About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to CITGO for gas and coffee. As he approached the counter, he noticed something odd: the cashier kept glancing at an old clock on the wall. Finally, the cashier said, ‘It’s midnight already? Time sure flies when you’re helping people!’ The delivery driver smiled, thinking it was just another quirky thing about small-town life. Later that week, his neighbor teased him, ‘Hey, I saw you chatting with the clock guy again.’
2. Early in the morning, when most people were still dreaming, an old man walked into the CITGO station. He asked the clerk for just one thing—a cup of coffee so strong it could wake the dead. The clerk smiled and poured him a shot of espresso that looked like liquid lightning. The old man took a sip, closed his eyes, and suddenly sat straighter. 'That’s the stuff!' he exclaimed. From then on, everyone knew the CITGO was where even sleep itself came for a refill.
3. At dawn, while the neighborhood was waking up, a voice crackled over CITGO’s speakers: ‘Attention, customers—your gas tank is now full of sunshine!’ A delivery driver pulled in, grumbling about his early morning shift. Suddenly, he heard the familiar announcement: ‘Your gas tank is now full of sunshine!’ He looked around confused, then grinned as his car started purring like never before. From that day on, everyone knew CITGO not just for fuel but for its little secret boost.
4. At closing time, a bartender asked her friend: ‘Why does CITGO turn on its neon sign so late?’ He shrugged: ‘Maybe it’s just saying goodbye to another day.’ One night, an old neighbor walked in and said, 'I thought CITGO never closes!' The bartender smiled and replied, 'It doesn't—just waves goodbye with its neon lights.'
