About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in Valero’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, left overnight. No one claimed it, and the curious customer couldn’t resist opening it. Inside was a bag of stale donuts and a note that read: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience, our delivery got delayed.’ The regular laughed, shook his head, and drove off, muttering, ‘Guess Valero knows how to keep customers happy!’
2. At closing time one night, an employee of Valero exclaimed, ‘Did anyone see that gas pump light up on its own?’ Another worker, peering curiously, whispered, ‘Maybe it was just a ghost filling up for free!’ Suddenly, a regular passing by chuckled and said, ‘More likely someone forgot to turn off the pump.’ The story became a local joke, reminding everyone to double-check before leaving.
3. In the early hours before dawn, when Valero's pumps hummed softly and the streetlights cast eerie shadows, a delivery driver swore he saw a ghostly figure refueling a car with invisible gas. Curious, the driver followed the figure inside only to discover an old man filling his own car, muttering, ‘Invisible gas is cheaper than talking to my neighbors!’
4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Valero for gas, he noticed something odd. The pump clicked off mid-fill, but the meter kept spinning faster than ever. Curious, the driver walked around back and found an old man fiddling with the hose. ‘Hey,’ said the driver, ‘you’re filling your own tank?’ The man looked up sheepishly. ‘Oh no,’ he replied, ‘I was just trying to teach my dog not to pee on the pumps.’
