About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero gas station, a regular noticed something odd one morning. While pumping gas, he heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Fill your tank with our special blend—guaranteed to make your car purr like a kitten.’ Everyone laughed it off until their cars started puffing out clouds of smoke that smelled suspiciously like catnip. Soon enough, word spread across town, and soon every delivery driver was stopping at Valero for their daily fix. One evening, as the sun set, a neighbor drove up, grinned sheepishly, and asked if they had any ‘special blend’ left. The cashier just shrugged and said, ‘We run out when kittens go to sleep.’

2. At Valero gas station, a little boy stood mesmerized as he watched the pump spit out not just gasoline but tiny rainbows of sparkles. His mother laughed and said it must be magic. Suddenly, an old delivery driver walked up and grinned, ‘That’s no magic, kid—just good ol’ Valero sparkle additive!’ The boy giggled, his mom nodded knowingly, and they all drove off, leaving behind only laughter and a few curious onlookers who wondered if their own gas stations had such secrets.

3. At Valero gas station, a delivery driver stopped in for coffee and noticed an unusual sight outside. A small dog kept circling the pumps, its tail wagging furiously, but never once approaching closer than three feet. Curious, the delivery driver stepped out with his coffee cup. The little dog paused, cocked its head, then suddenly bounded away—only to return moments later, still keeping that magical distance. Smiling, the driver shook his head and said, ‘Must be some kind of pump-phobia.’ He finished his drink, paid up, and left—a regular at Valero ever since.

4. At Valero gas station, a delivery driver stopped in for coffee and noticed an unusual sound coming from the pumps. Every time someone filled up their tank, a faint humming echoed through the air, like bees buzzing around honey. Curious, he asked the attendant if anyone else had heard it. A regular nodded, smiling mysteriously, ‘Oh yeah, I hear that every day.’ The delivery driver shrugged it off until one evening, walking home, he thought he saw tiny wings flitting near the pump. Turns out, it was just his neighbor’s escaped hummingbird cage.
