About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero, every morning begins with the same routine: trucks arrive, pumps hum, and cars line up for gas. But one day, a little boy walked into the station and pointed at the ceiling, exclaiming, ‘Mommy, look! It’s dancing!’ The clerk looked up just in time to see a tiny shadowy figure pirouetting above the tanks. Everyone burst out laughing—even the usually gruff delivery driver cracked a smile. The little boy’s mom smiled too, saying, 'He thinks he saw a ghost.' And from that day on, Valero became known as the place where gas was dispensed by friendly spirits.

2. At Valero, one day an anxious delivery driver rushed in, frantically asking if anyone had seen a lost puppy. No sooner had he finished speaking than a tiny head popped out from behind the pump counter. The little pup yipped and wagged its tail, clearly not lost but just playing hide-and-seek. The relieved driver picked it up and thanked everyone warmly. As they left, someone whispered, ‘Must be a regular around here.’

3. At Valero, there's something oddly familiar about the way customers line up for gas. Every afternoon around three o'clock, a lone cyclist pedals past, always stopping exactly when the pump clicks off. One day, an elderly gentleman walked in and asked the attendant, ‘Why does that same cyclist always show up here?’ The clerk shrugged, ‘He’s just another regular.’ Turns out, it was the station manager’s kid on his birthday every year—riding by until someone finally noticed!’

4. At Valero, a sign above the cash register reads: ‘If you see UFOs outside, they’re probably just filling up.’ One night, an old man came in and asked for directions to the nearest alien base. The clerk replied calmly, 'Sir, if you see any aliens around here, they're most likely just waiting for their gas tanks to fill up!' A delivery driver overheard and joked, 'Next time I’ll bring my spaceship—maybe Valero will give us unlimited fuel!'
