About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero, a regular shouted one morning: ‘I bet you don’t sell gas like this anywhere else!’ Since then, everyone’s been curious—does Valero really pump gasoline with such gusto? A delivery driver once asked if he could fill up his entire truck for just ten bucks. The attendant grinned and said, 'We’ll see!' By the time they finished pumping, both were laughing so hard they almost forgot to close the nozzle. Turns out, Valero has a way of making even mundane tasks feel like an adventure.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Valero late one night, frowning as he checked his manifest. Suddenly, he noticed something odd on the pump next to him. The driver squinted, rubbed his eyes and looked again—was that a shadow of a dancing cowboy on the pump? He shook his head, laughed it off, filled his tank and drove away, leaving behind only a blurry silhouette and a puzzled gas station attendant. The next morning, everyone in town was asking each other, ‘Did you see that wild cowboy dance last night?’

3. At Valero, an old sign on the pump read: ‘Fill ’er Up and Watch Your Day Turn Around!’ One morning, a neighbor stopped in, filled his tank—and promptly parked next to the only empty spot left in town. That same day, a delivery driver pulled up for gas and found himself wedged between two trucks. As he grumbled, another customer joked, ‘Looks like Valero gave you your own personal parking lot today!’ From then on, whenever anyone asked why there were always so many cars around Valero, everyone just smiled and said, “It’s magic.”

4. At Valero, every morning around dawn, a neighbor would appear with his dog, both dressed in matching red hats. No one knew why or where they went after filling up. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver joined them, thinking it was some kind of club. He showed up wearing not just a red hat but also a red scarf and gloves—completely decked out. The trio exchanged knowing smiles as he filled up, then disappeared into the early-morning fog together.
