About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero gas station, a regular once asked the clerk, ‘Why do I always see UFOs flying over here when I fill up?’ The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Well, sir, it’s simple really—you’re standing right next to the only gas station in town with its own personal alien beacon!’ A delivery driver chimed in, ‘Or maybe they’re just attracted to our top-notch fuel.’ The regular laughed and shook his head, happy for the friendly banter.

2. At Valero gas station, late one night, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘If you’re the person who keeps forgetting your change, please come forward.’ Confused, he approached the counter. The attendant smiled and said, 'Sir, we've been noticing that whenever you fill up, you always leave without your exact change.' The driver blushed and sheepishly reached into his pocket, pulling out a handful of coins. Everyone in line laughed, and from then on, Valero became known as the place where even memory-challenged drivers found their change.

3. At Valero gas station, every morning around sunrise, a neighbor noticed something peculiar—a faint humming sound coming from inside the pumps. The hum grew louder each day, until one morning a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe it’s aliens trying to refuel their spaceship!’ Soon enough, word spread, and people stopped by just to hear the mysterious noise. The owner even installed a small bench next to the pumps, inviting everyone to sit and wait for the magical hum. On particularly quiet days, a neighbor would whisper, ‘I think they’re taking a break,’ causing laughter among those gathered.

4. At Valero gas station, on foggy nights when everyone else had gone home, a lone security camera caught something strange—an old pickup truck slowly pulling itself into the lot. The camera panned closer as the truck stopped near the pumps, its headlights casting eerie shadows. Suddenly, an older gentleman emerged from behind the wheel—a neighborhood handyman who always filled up there late at night. He waved cheerfully and said, ‘Hey, Valero! Just picking up some gas for my trusty ol’ truck.’ Everyone watching laughed, realizing it was just another case of mistaken identity.
