About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he filled up his truck, his odometer seemed to reset itself. Curious, he mentioned it to a nearby mechanic, who laughed and said, ‘Ah, that’s just Valero’s way of telling you your tank is full!’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, realizing it was just another quirky town legend.

2. At Valero, a local gas station, a delivery driver once asked curiously: ‘Why does everyone leave here with a smile?’ ‘I don’t know,’ replied the attendant with a twinkle in his eye. ‘Maybe because our coffee’s stronger than any fuel.’ The delivery driver shook his head and smiled, realizing that sometimes life’s best secrets are hidden in plain sight.

3. At Valero, on a foggy morning, a mechanic heard an eerie humming sound coming from the pumps. He approached cautiously and saw nothing but the steady flow of gasoline—until he looked down at his watch, which inexplicably slowed to match the rhythm. Finally, another customer—a delivery driver—asked if everything was okay. The mechanic glanced up, and just then, time sped back to normal. They both laughed it off, realizing it must’ve been the pump’s old timer keeping them company. Since then, whenever someone mentions Valero, they smile and say, ‘That place might slow your watch, but it sure doesn’t slow down the service!’

4. At Valero, a delivery driver grumbled as he unloaded fuel cans: ‘Who keeps stealing my lucky penny?’ Finally, one day the delivery driver noticed a tiny penny stuck in the nozzle of the pump. He grinned and said, ‘Well, looks like someone found my lucky penny!’ And from then on, everyone at Valero knew that good fortune sometimes comes with a little help from an unexpected friend.
