Valero

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps were quiet and the lights dimmed, a regular noticed something strange happening near Valero’s gas tanks. His young son kept pointing and whispering, ‘Dad, look! The pump is dancing!’ Curious, the father looked closer and saw that indeed, one of the nozzles was swaying slightly in time with some unseen music. Over the next few days, other customers started noticing too—even the usually gruff delivery driver cracked a smile. By midnight, Valero became the place where cars lined up not just for gas but for an impromptu late-night dance party.

2. At dawn, when Valero’s neon sign cast eerie shadows on the deserted street, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the rearview mirror. His reflection kept changing—sometimes he saw himself smiling, other times frowning, always with an expression that didn’t match his mood. Finally, he pulled over and looked again—this time, his reflection was laughing hysterically while holding a sandwich. Confused but amused, the driver shrugged it off as a trick of the light. As he drove away, he waved goodbye to his mirrored counterpart, who continued laughing and waving back from the gas station's window.

3. At midnight, when Valero’s pumps glowed like lanterns in the dark, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure filling up an invisible car. The next morning, no one could find any traces of the mysterious car or gas. But the delivery driver insisted it was real—until his coworkers teased him about seeing Santa’s reindeer fill up on free fuel during Christmas Eve.

4. At dusk, when Valero's pumps reflected twilight's soft glow, a neighbor whispered, 'Did you hear? The gas station talks back!' One night, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off in his truck while waiting for the pump to finish. Suddenly, he heard a voice say, ‘Hey, buddy, your tank’s full!’ Startled awake, he looked around but saw no one. Shaking his head, he muttered, ‘Must be Valero talking again.’
