Valero

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably cold morning when a Valero gas station attendant noticed something odd. A regular customer, bundled up in layers, walked in wearing nothing but a smile. ‘What gives?’ asked the perplexed attendant. The man just grinned and said, ‘Hey, I heard your coffee’s pretty good.’ Turns out he’d driven all night delivering packages and had run out of hot water at home. Since then, Valero became known as the place where you can get both gas and a warm welcome!’

2. It was late afternoon when a delivery driver pulled up to the Valero pump. ‘Hey,’ he called out, ‘I’m pretty sure I saw that same truck here yesterday!’ The attendant shook his head with a smile. 'Nope, must be your imagination,' he said. The driver shrugged and went on his way. Later, as the sun set, an old neighbor walked in and asked if they had seen his car. Turns out it was parked right next to the Valero—again.

3. It was just another quiet night at the Valero convenience store when a regular exclaimed, ‘I swear I saw that same truck pull in here three times today!’ The clerk shook his head and grinned, 'Maybe he’s delivering to himself!' A few minutes later, an embarrassed-looking delivery driver walked in, sheepishly explaining, 'Sorry guys, my GPS kept rerouting me here.' The regular laughed heartily, and everyone went back to their business—except for occasional glances at the gas pumps.

4. It was a humdrum Sunday afternoon when a Valero employee heard a strange humming sound coming from the storage room. Curious, he opened the door—and found himself face-to-face with a small, furry creature that seemed equally perplexed. The creature scurried away as soon as it saw him, leaving behind an old tin can filled with glittering coins. The employee laughed and thought nothing of it until his coworker mentioned seeing a similar sight last week—coins appearing in random places around the station. Turns out, Valero had a secret treasure-giving rodent who liked to reward good customers with lucky change.
