About Rocket

Rocket is a regional brand of gas stations and convenience stores operated by Apro, LLC, one of the largest independent owners and operators of fuel and convenience locations in the Western United States. Founded in 1955 and based in Long Beach, California, the company supplies fuel under brands such as 76, Conoco, Phillips 66, Shell, Chevron, and United Oil, while the convenience store offering is branded as Rocket. Locations typically feature gasoline and diesel pumps, a stocked convenience store with snacks, drinks, basic groceries, and often amenities like modern car washes and Amazon Lockers.([rocketstores.com](https://rocketstores.com/about-us/))

A charge labeled like "ROCKET 427 CHESTERFIELD MO" would most likely come from a Rocket-branded gas station and convenience store location in or near Chesterfield, Missouri. It could represent payment for fuel at the pump, purchases made inside the store (such as food, beverages, lottery tickets, or other convenience items), a car wash, or a combination of these if they were paid for in a single transaction. Some locations may also process payments through a branded mobile app or pay-at-pump system, which can slightly alter how the descriptor appears on your statement.([76.com](https://www.76.com/station/66-ROCKET-4271-0000908219/?utm_source=openai))

If you have questions about this charge, start by checking any paper or email receipts from the date of the transaction and comparing the amount and date to your card statement. You can also review your navigation history (e.g., in Google Maps or Apple Maps) to confirm that you visited a Rocket station around that time. To resolve issues, you can contact the specific station using its phone number from the Rocket store locator or reach out through the contact form on Rocket’s website. If the store cannot locate the transaction or you suspect fraud, promptly contact your card issuer to dispute the charge or request a card replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my statement show “ROCKET 427 CHESTERFIELD MO” instead of a full address?

Card networks often use an abbreviated merchant descriptor that includes the brand name (Rocket), a store or site number (such as 427), and the city and state. In this case, the charge is from a Rocket gas station and convenience store location in the Chesterfield, Missouri area, even if the exact street address is not shown.

What types of purchases at Rocket can appear as a single charge on my card?

Fuel purchases at the pump, in-store items like snacks or beverages, and services such as a car wash can all be combined into one transaction if you pay for them together. Even if you only bought fuel, the descriptor may still show the Rocket store number and city rather than specifying ‘fuel’ or ‘gas’ explicitly.

Does Rocket place temporary holds or preauthorizations on my card when I buy gas?

Like many gas stations, Rocket locations may place a temporary preauthorization hold when you pay at the pump to verify your card. This hold can be higher than your final fuel total (for example, a fixed amount such as $50–$125) and will typically adjust to the actual purchase amount or drop off entirely within a few business days, depending on your bank’s policies.

How can I confirm which Rocket location charged my card?

Match the date and time on your card statement with when you last visited a Rocket station, then use the Rocket store locator on rocketstores.com to find Rocket locations in or near Chesterfield, Missouri. Calling the station and providing the transaction date, approximate time, and amount will usually allow staff to look up the transaction in their point-of-sale system.([rocketstores.com](https://rocketstores.com/))

How do I request a refund or correction for a mistaken Rocket charge?

First, contact the Rocket station where the transaction occurred—ideally with your receipt or a screenshot of the statement entry. Most billing corrections, such as mis-pumped fuel amounts or duplicate charges, must be processed at the store level. If the store cannot resolve it or you believe the charge is fraudulent, contact your bank or card issuer to open a dispute.

Can my Rocket purchase appear under a different fuel brand like Phillips 66 or 76?

Yes. Apro, LLC operates fuel locations under several fuel brands, including 76, Conoco, Phillips 66, Shell, Chevron, and United Oil while using the Rocket name for the convenience store. Depending on how the specific station is set up, your statement might show Rocket along with a brand like Phillips 66 or 76, or just the Rocket store identifier and city.([rocketstores.com](https://rocketstores.com/about-us/))

Does Rocket offer any rewards or app-based payments that might change how the charge appears?

Rocket operates the Rocket Stores app and the Rocket CREW rewards program, which let you earn discounts and pay in-store or at the pump through saved payment methods. Transactions initiated through the app are still processed by the underlying Rocket station but may include additional identifiers related to the app or rewards account in the statement descriptor.([rocketstores.com](https://rocketstores.com/))

What should I do if I don’t recognize a Rocket charge at all?

Check with anyone else who has access to your card (family members on the same account, for example) and review your recent travel or driving routes to see if you may have forgotten a fuel stop. If no one recognizes the transaction and you can’t match it to a visit to a Rocket or other gas station, contact your card issuer immediately to report potential fraud and have the card blocked or replaced.
