About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at Valero when a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual request. He asked the attendant if he could fill his tank and then… disappear into thin air for exactly three minutes. The attendant raised an eyebrow but shrugged, knowing better than to question such odd requests. Three minutes later, the driver emerged from nowhere, paid for his gas, smiled sheepishly, and drove off. To this day, locals joke that Valero has a secret elevator to the clouds—just for their favorite delivery guy.

2. A delivery driver pulled up one morning with an unusual load—a small, mischievous-looking parrot. As customers lined up for gas, the bird started chirping out random phrases, much to everyone’s amusement. Soon enough, the parrot became a fixture at Valero, greeting every customer with its unique greetings. One day, an elderly gentleman asked the owner, ‘Should I trust your gas if you can’t even control that bird?’ The owner smiled and replied, ‘Trust our gas—it comes from Valero!’ And everyone laughed, including the now well-behaved but still talkative parrot.

3. A delivery driver pulled up one afternoon with something unexpected—an old, battered suitcase that seemed to be humming softly. The delivery driver opened it curiously and found inside a tiny radio playing an old folk song. Everyone gathered around laughing, and soon Valero became known for its daily musical surprises. The tune was always different, but everyone agreed—it made filling up their tanks a little more cheerful.

4. It was a quiet Sunday morning at Valero when a delivery driver pulled up with something peculiar—a large cardboard box wrapped in mysterious tape. The delivery driver carefully unwrapped the box, revealing inside an old, dusty VHS tape labeled ‘Top Secret Recipe for World-Famous Chili’. A regular, standing nearby, cracked a smile and said, ‘Now that’s what I call gas station marketing!’ The tape disappeared into thin air soon after, never to be seen again.
