About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero, customers often noticed an old man entering after sunset. He’d fill up his truck and leave without saying a word. One night, a little boy asked his mom, ‘Why does that man always come here so late?’ The mother smiled and whispered, 'He’s just a regular who likes coming here when it’s quiet.' The next day, everyone in town saw him filling up his truck again—except he was pushing it, not driving.

2. At Valero, early morning deliveries became oddly familiar when a delivery driver started leaving behind mysterious notes in the parking lot. They were always written on used gas receipts and never signed. One day, an old neighbor found one with a doodle of a unicorn and the note: ‘Gas is magical today—fill up for half price!’ Everyone laughed, but the prices did seem unusually low that week. The mystery continued until someone finally asked the delivery guy if he was responsible. He just shrugged and said, ‘It’s my way of saying thanks.’

3. At Valero, a neighbor would always stop for gas before heading home from work. But one day, he noticed something peculiar: every time he filled up, the same song played on the radio—an old country ballad he hadn’t heard in years. Finally curious, our neighbor asked the cashier if anyone ever changed the station. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, ‘Oh no, sir. That’s just Mr. Valero’s favorite song.’ Turns out, the owner was an old country fan who’d programmed his own playlist into the radio.

4. At Valero, one day a customer found an ancient map hidden behind the cash register. It looked like something out of a treasure hunt, but no one could decipher its clues. Word spread quickly among locals that Valero might hold secrets. One day, a delivery driver brought in his dog, claiming it sniffed out more clues near the back door. The manager, amused, offered him a free coffee. Turns out, the dog just loved their donuts better than treasure hunting.
