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 swore he heard faint laughter coming from inside the empty station. Curious, he slowed down and peered through the window—only to see an old man with twinkling eyes filling his car with gasoline. ‘Need some help there?’ asked the stranger. The delivery driver blinked, rubbed his eyes, then laughed sheepishly. Turns out, Valero had a new night watchman who loved practical jokes.’
2. One morning, while filling up at Valero, an old man muttered under his breath, ‘I swear, every time I come here, my car gets smarter.’ The cashier just smiled and shrugged it off. A few days later, a delivery driver pulled in, complaining loudly that now his truck was singing along with the radio. The cashier laughed and said, 'Welcome to Valero, where your vehicle upgrades with every fill-up!'
3. One afternoon, while pumping gas at Valero, a little boy pointed excitedly at something in the sky and asked his dad, ‘Dad, why does that sign keep changing colors?’ The father looked up and shrugged, saying, 'Son, that's just how neon signs work—you know, like magic.' The boy nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to the pump with a newfound sense of wonder. A nearby delivery driver overheard their conversation and smiled, whispering to himself, 'Guess I’ll never look at those colorful signs the same way again.'
4. While pumping gas at Valero late one evening, a neighbor noticed something odd in the reflection of the pump's glass cover. Curious, they leaned closer and saw that the reflection showed not just the pump but also an old pickup truck parked across the street. It seemed as if time had frozen there forever—complete with dusty windshield and slightly ajar door. The neighbor waved hello to the seemingly unaware driver, who smiled back from behind the wheel without moving a muscle. Turns out it was just an old delivery driver taking a well-deserved rest inside his truck.
