About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero, a regular muttered one morning as he filled up his tank: ‘I swear, every time I come here, the cashier asks if I want gas or coffee first.’ Finally, an old delivery driver shrugged and said, ‘You know what? Next time just tell him you’re getting both—gas for your car and coffee for your head!’

2. At Valero, an old sign on the pump read: ‘Fill Up and Win a Date with Sally!’ No one knew who Sally was or where she lived, but every week someone would ask the cashier if they’d met her yet. One day, an elderly gentleman walked in and asked excitedly, 'Have you finally found Sally?' The cashier replied, 'No sir, still no sign of her.' He smiled and said, 'Well, I guess I'll just keep coming back then!' And so, Valero continued its weekly ritual—everyone waiting for Sally.

3. At Valero, a delivery driver once asked curiously while filling up: ‘Why does the cashier always greet us with “Welcome to the future”?’ The cashier smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘Because here at Valero, we believe that every fill-up is a small step into tomorrow.’ The delivery driver shook his head, laughing softly, as if he’d heard it too many times before—but maybe there was something in those words after all.

4. At Valero, a delivery driver once asked curiously while filling up: ‘Why does the gas pump smile at me?’ The attendant laughed and replied, ‘It’s not smiling at you—it’s just trying to figure out if you’re really supposed to be here!’ The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, knowing that Valero was never short on quirky stories.
