About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The neon sign above the pumps seemed to flicker in time with the hum of the generator. Was it just his imagination, or did the lights dance like an old-time jukebox? Curious, he stepped closer and pressed his ear against the generator’s hood. Sure enough, if you listened carefully, the rhythmic hum matched the tune playing on the old radio inside—a classic rock ballad from the ’70s. Turned out, the neon sign was just dancing along to the music. A regular stopped by later that week and asked if they could keep the generator on for him too—it added character to their morning coffee.

2. At Valero, on a stormy midnight, a gas station attendant heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the store. Curious, he peered through the darkened windows and saw a shadowy figure filling up a non-existent car. The attendant called out, but got no response. Just as he was about to open the door, the figure vanished into thin air. From then on, whenever a delivery driver or a neighbor stopped by late at night, they’d joke that maybe Valero had its own ghostly customer. The end—sort of.

3. At Valero, in the early morning hours, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure filling up a car that wasn’t there. The delivery driver told his colleagues it was probably just a ghostly gas-guzzler, but everyone laughed it off. Months later, when a regular customer asked for an invisible SUV, Valero’s manager winked and said, ‘We’ve got our own way of doing things here.’

4. At Valero, a customer exclaimed, ‘Did you see that?’ One minute the pump readout was blank, and the next it showed a message: “Welcome to Valero—fill up with luck today!” A delivery driver pulled in, grumbling about his day. As he filled up, the screen flashed: 'Your troubles are over—Valero grants one wish!' He paused, rubbed his eyes, then whispered into the microphone: ‘Make it rain cash!’ And sure enough, dollar bills started falling from the sky… until another customer pointed out, ‘That’s just your change, sir.’
