World's Largest Chevron Gas Station: world record in Jean, Nevada

Jean, Nevada, United States--Terrible's Road House a.k.a. the World's Largest Chevron, in Jean, Nevada has 96 pumps to accommodate the nearly 55,000 travelers that pass through the Nevada-California state line every day; the gas station is loaded with boutiques and other unique offerings like a 30-foot-long coffee bar, a 700-square-foot beer cave, and sets the world record for being the World's Largest Chevron Gas Station, according to the WORLD RECORD ACADEMY.


"Terrible's Road House is designed to feel like a travel destination – visitors can see full-sized airplanes hanging from the ceiling, racecars, and a 13-foot Sasquatch among the aisles of snacks and drinks," the KTNV.com reports.


"Other highlights include a Jack Links merch store, a Red Bull lounge with lockers that charge your cell phone, a beer cave with craft brews from Nevada, pepperoni jerky, nitro cold brew coffee on tap, moonshine from City Lights Distillery, a mini-casino, and a machine that makes instant slushies out of soda.

"In addition to the seemingly endless number of gas pump bays, the store adjacent, the Terrible Herbst Convenience Store also known as Terrible’s Road House, is equally massive. With an astonishing 50,000 square feet, it is one of the world’s largest convenience stores," the Primm Nevada reports.


"With so many available gas pumps, the Road House delivers largeness on other fronts as well. It has sixty restroom stalls, a wide range of convenience store foods and beverages with a huge soda fountain bank section, a large candy section, souvenirs, travel items, and one of the largest beer caves in the state.


"Beyond the more typical convenience and travel store fare with massive selection, the Road House also has an Auto Zone store and a White Castle fast-food restaurant with dine-in and drive-thru options. In addition to the White Castle, you can also purchase sandwiches, premium jerky, doughnuts, candied nuts, frozen treats, and more."

"The convenience store associated with Terrible's Road House is 50,000 square feet! And that includes a 700 square foot beer cave! There are 72 soda heads in the fountain beverage area. And then there's the bathrooms, as the women's restroom has 25 floor to ceiling bathroom stalls, while the men's has 13 stalls and 25 urinals! There's even a map of the bathroom area drawn on the entrance area to the bathrooms. The men's restroom even has inspirational messages written all over, such as: "Every great journey begins with a trip to the bathroom", "Wash your hands! You know where they've been" and "All shooters with short barrels or low muzzle velocity please move closer to targets", the Weird California reports.


"The World's Largest Chevron also has several planes hanging from the ceiling, a massive thirteen foot tall Bigfoot statue, a Candy Village, motorcycles suspended in mid air, and even a car from a James Bond movie! One of the planes even points the way to the restrooms, with "Restrooms" written in yellow all over it, along with arrows pointing, and a roll of toilet paper being strewn from the cockpit, held on to by the pilot. The second plane is in the entrance area, while the third plane has "Modelo" written on it and flies near the Beer Cave.


"The store has several little boutiques devoted to other brands ranging from Red Bull, Monster Energy Drink, and the beef jerky, Jack Links Wildside. Of course, there's also an area with slot machines and video poker. There's also a pretty nice fenced in dog walk area on the other side of the gas pumps. With 96 gas pumps, plenty of bathroom stalls, and a giant convenience store, Terrible's Road House is your one stop shopping spot for anything you could possibly need on the road!"

"A larger-than-life gas station is hiding in the humble town of Jean, Nevada and it's actually kind of amazing. Considered the world's largest Chevron station, we think it's safe to say this place has much more to offer than gasoline and road snacks," the Only In Your State reports.


"Boasting 96 gasoline pumps and 50,000-square-feet, this gas station is a real behemoth. Your first question when learning about this massive Chevron may simply be "Why?". Simply put, Jean needed something big to accommodate the 55,000 travelers that pass through every single day. We think this does the trick!


"The gas station is truly one-of-a-kind, as it's loaded with boutiques and other unique offerings. Among some of the stores you'll find hiding inside are The Candy Village, the Red Bull Lounge, Jack Link's Wild Side, and The City Lights Distillery. The place is also packed with quirky decor ranging from a 13-foot-tall Bigfoot to Riley Herbst's Nos Energy NASCAR vehicle. The Road House was designed not only as a fuel station, but a place for travelers to hang out, eat, drink, and play before hitting the road again."

TESTIMONIALS from Yelp

"Friendly staff and great food. I recommend you at top V by and hi I've it a try."


"No joke, it's massive. I believe it has almost 100 gas pumps [96] and is the largest Chevron in the world. It also has gas that is about $1.00 more than Las Vegas. As far as watering holes go, you'll find what your need in their gift shop and mini mart. There used to be a White Castle inside but the restaurant is now closed. Huge selection of beer and soft drinks, chips, and related snacks."


"We Grabbed some gas which was ok price during inflation time, treats for my girls and adult beverages for later, fueled up and was on our merry way back on the road to Cali. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and step right on in and get the goods and fuel you need. You won't leave empty handed."


"This place is HUGE and has a ton of gas pumps. Plenty of restrooms with no wait. The downside here is that the gas is $1.00-1.25 more than any other gas station in Nevada. The prices for just about anything in the store are not listed, so you get to find out at the register. I guess it's really all about convenience here, so you pay for that. They even have some slot machines here, if u can't wait to get your gaming on in Vegas."


"I'm a White Castle lover! This was the best that I have ever had. Everything was fresh. It was served fast."


"The store was huge, and offers several other brand stores inside. Bathrooms were numerous and clean. Service was friendly and there are lots of souvenirs available in case you forgot someone. Clean restrooms. Only missing handicapped rails."
