About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero, a regular shouted one morning, ‘I’ll take two gallons of gasoline and an angel’s prayer!’ The cashier just smiled and said, ‘We got both here.’ A delivery driver once asked for ‘just enough gas to get out of here’ while humming a hymn under his breath. The cashier winked and replied, ‘You’ve got it covered.’ And that’s why, some say, Valero sells more than just fuel—it sells hope too.

2. At Valero, early in the morning when fog lingered like a ghost over the pumps, an old man whispered into the air: ‘Fill ’er up with sunshine today.’ One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Sir, what does “fill ’er up with sunshine” even mean?’ The old man smiled and replied, ‘It means you get a free smile and good wishes every time you fill up!’ And ever since then, everyone left Valero feeling just a little brighter.

3. At Valero, late at night when city lights dimmed, a delivery driver noticed an eerie glow from inside the gas station's office. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only his own reflection—except for one small detail: it was wearing a neon orange vest and holding a clipboard. Turns out, someone had left the security camera on, broadcasting live footage of everyone who walked in or out. The delivery driver spent the rest of the night laughing so hard that a nearby neighbor stopped by to ask if everything was okay.

4. At Valero, on a chilly autumn morning when the sun struggled to break through the mist, a delivery driver noticed something odd. A lone pump handle swayed gently as if someone had just left it mid-pump. Curious, he approached and found an old man dozing in his truck nearby. ‘Sir,’ said the driver gently, shaking him awake. The man yawned, stretched, and replied, “Oh, that? I was just filling up for my morning coffee run.” He grinned sheepishly, adding, “Guess I fell asleep waiting for the gas to settle.”
