About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero gas station late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he filled up, his dog started barking uncontrollably at the pump's reflection in the dark glass. Noises from inside the store grew louder too—like someone whispering behind him. Finally, the delivery driver decided to investigate and found nothing but an old radio playing static on the counter. His dog, it turned out, was just reacting to its own shadow. From then on, whenever anyone asked about Valero’s spooky reputation, the owner would proudly say, ‘It’s not haunted—it’s just our friendly neighborhood ghost-dog!’

2. At Valero gas station, a delivery driver heard an eerie humming sound coming from the pumps at dusk. Curious passersby claimed it sounded like bees, but no insects were in sight. Suddenly, an old man approached and asked if anyone had seen his lost bee suit. Turned out, he was checking on his hive behind the station. Everyone laughed, realizing the humming was just busy little bees doing their thing.

3. At Valero gas station, a delivery driver overheard two neighbors arguing loudly in the parking lot. One shouted, ‘You’re always filling up your tank here—do you know how much money you’re wasting?’ The other replied calmly, ‘I know exactly how much I’m spending, and it’s worth every penny.’ Then he smiled and added, ‘Besides, it keeps me coming back here for more than just gas!’ The delivery driver chuckled to himself as he drove away, thinking that maybe Valero had found its newest loyal customer.

4. At Valero gas station, a delivery driver found an old, rusty keychain on the parking lot. Curious, he picked it up and noticed an engraving: ‘To the best Valero attendant ever.’ The delivery driver took the keychain inside and showed it to the manager, joking that maybe it was meant for him since he always got free coffee from the attendants. The manager smiled, saying it probably belonged to some long-forgotten employee. From then on, though, whenever anyone mentioned Valero’s friendly service, everyone would wink knowingly—because of that mysterious little keychain.
