About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero, a regular once asked the cashier, ‘Why do you always give me the same change?’ The cashier shrugged and replied, ‘Because it’s always exactly right.’ Since then, customers swear they’ve seen the same bills appear in their wallets day after day. One day, an elderly neighbor stopped by and asked curiously, ‘Do you ever run out of money?’ The cashier grinned, ‘Never, ma’am—we just keep recycling the exact same bills!’ Everyone laughed, knowing that sometimes life at Valero was as predictable—and as funny—as the change itself.

2. At Valero, a delivery driver kept noticing an old lady filling up her car late at night. Each time he filled her tank, she’d pay with exact change and leave without saying a word. One evening, the delivery driver decided to stay longer and watch. The old lady turned out to be a little girl playing dress-up in her grandmother’s car. She grinned sheepishly when she saw him, holding a handful of quarters meant for her lemonade stand across the street.

3. At Valero, a delivery driver noticed something strange one morning. Why did everyone leave exactly at 12:01 AM? Curious, he asked around and found out that it was just an old neighborhood tradition—everyone in town would quietly slip out at precisely 12:01 AM for a quick midnight snack before returning home. Turned out, Valero had become the unofficial late-night hangout spot for everyone in town.

4. At Valero, a delivery driver wondered aloud one day: why did every fifth customer ask for exactly five gallons of gas? Curious, he started keeping track and noticed something odd—everyone who asked for five gallons was either a retiree reading the same horoscope column or someone delivering packages to that very station! Turns out, it was just another quirky town habit no one bothered explaining.
