About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero, a regular shouted one morning, ‘I swear I saw a ghost in the bathroom!’ The rest of us just laughed it off until we started hearing strange whispers too. Then one night, an old lady came in and asked for directions to the bathroom. We all looked at each other, confused, because there was only one bathroom—and it had been empty all day. Turns out, she was our new cleaner! Since then, no more ghost stories—just friendly greetings from Mrs. Johnson.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Valero one afternoon, frowning as he noticed something odd. The gas pump clicked off mid-fill, and when he looked inside, the nozzle was stuck halfway into an empty tank. He knocked on the door of a nearby house and asked a neighbor for help. Together they managed to free the nozzle, but not before the driver’s lunch had spilled onto his shirt. ‘Looks like you’ve been pumping gas for breakfast,’ chuckled the neighbor. The driver shook his head, smiling: ‘At least it wasn’t coffee.’

3. At Valero, an old sign above the pumps read: ‘Fill ’er Up and Watch Your Problems Drain Away.’ One day, a delivery driver pulled up, staring at it quizzically before muttering, ‘Now that’s what I call a gas station motto!’ As he pumped his truck full of gas, another customer—a friendly neighbor—walked over and asked curiously, ‘What does that mean anyway?’ With a sly smile, the delivery driver replied, ‘Oh, it just means when you fill up here, your worries evaporate like vapor!’ They both laughed heartily, realizing life’s little joys often come from unexpected places.

4. At Valero, a delivery driver pulled up late one night, puzzled by a strange glow coming from behind the gas station. Curious, he got out and peered around the corner—only to discover an old man watering flowers next to the pump. Turns out, the glow was just his headlamp. The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking nothing of it until the neighbor waved and said, ‘Hey, you’re late again!’
