About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Valero for gas, he noticed something strange: a soft humming sound coming from inside the station's pumps. Curious, he leaned in closer and saw tiny lights dancing around the nozzle. Suddenly, an old man popped out from behind the pump, waving a broom and yelling, ‘Hey! No flashing while filling!’ The delivery driver laughed it off, realizing he’d been caught by Valero’s friendly neighborhood ghost.}

2. One morning, while filling up at Valero, an old man noticed something peculiar in the parking lot—a strange metal box with no markings. Curious, he picked it up and brought it inside. The clerk raised an eyebrow but didn’t say much until… As he inspected it closer, the box opened with a soft click, revealing a stack of old newspapers from the 1980s. Everyone laughed when they realized it was just an ancient time capsule someone had forgotten to bury. The old man became known around town as ‘Mr. Time Capsule,’ and every now and then, another curious customer would discover something equally quirky.

3. At dawn, when no one else was around, a delivery driver filled up at Valero and heard an odd announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘If you’re feeling lucky today, stop by aisle seven before leaving.’ Curious, he glanced over but found nothing unusual. Later that day, while restocking shelves, our curious friend noticed a small poster in aisle seven with a phone number scribbled on it. He called it out of curiosity—and got a recording saying, 'For your luck today, fill up again tomorrow morning.' Confused, he shrugged it off until his neighbor mentioned, ‘That’s just Valero’s way of keeping customers coming back!’

4. One foggy afternoon, a delivery driver stopped at Valero to fill up and noticed something odd on the pump: the price kept changing, flashing different amounts each time he looked. Curious, the driver decided to check his receipt—only to discover that every amount was exactly $0.99 less than what showed on the pump! Turns out, an old neighbor had hacked into Valero’s pricing system for fun, just to see if anyone would notice. The whole town got a good laugh out of it.
