Valero

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Valero’s neon sign flickered on, a regular noticed something strange—an eerie humming sound came from inside the gas station, growing louder each time he filled up. Curious, the regular asked around, and soon enough, everyone in town was talking about it. Turns out, the humming was just an old radio left on by a delivery driver one foggy morning. Now, whenever someone fills up late at night, they can hear ‘American Top 40’ from the early ’90s playing softly in the background. It became part of Valero’s charm—a quirky little station with its own retro playlist.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Valero for gas and noticed an odd scent wafting from inside. Curious, he opened the door—and found the cashier humming softly while filling the tank of a parked car that wasn’t there. The delivery driver smiled and quietly shut the door. Next time he needed gas, he made sure to stop by around midnight too—just to say hello to the cashier and maybe catch another glimpse of the invisible car.

3. Late one night, while filling up at Valero, a delivery driver glanced at the clock above the pumps—and swore he saw it move backwards. The next morning, everyone in line laughed when an old man claimed he’d filled his tank for negative two dollars. Turns out, the clocks at Valero were just really good at telling time backward—especially when nobody was looking!

4. In the early morning fog, when Valero's pumps hummed softly, a delivery driver glanced at the reflection in the window. Something wasn't right—they saw their own shadow, but also another figure standing behind them. The delivery driver turned around, expecting to see someone there, but found only empty parking spaces. Shaking off the strange feeling, they went inside for coffee. Later that day, while filling up again, they noticed an old neighbor smiling and nodding from across the lot. ‘Must’ve been you,’ the neighbor said with a twinkle in their eye. ‘I thought I saw two of myself too!’
