About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at Valero, a regular noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper sat next to an empty gas can. Curious but cautious, he called over the attendant who shrugged it off as ‘just another prank.’ But every day after that, more packages appeared: old newspapers, forgotten umbrellas, even a vintage thermos. No one claimed them. Finally, someone recognized an old umbrella handle sticking out from under the newspaper bundle. It belonged to Mr. Johnson, the friendly neighborhood handyman. Turned out, he’d been delivering his cast-off belongings for months without realizing it. The moral? Always check your gas cans before leaving them in Valero’s parking lot.

2. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled into Valero for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw an old man dancing in circles with a broomstick, muttering something about ‘bad vibes.’ Turns out, it was just a regular cleaning guy doing his morning routine. The delivery driver shook his head, paid up, and drove off, leaving behind only a puzzled smile.

3. One foggy night, a neighbor pulled up to Valero and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures around here?’ The attendant shrugged and said, ‘Only when it’s so foggy you can’t see your hand in front of your face.’ A few days later, another neighbor stopped by and joked, ‘Did you hear they hired a psychic to cleanse the place?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘She left early—said she needed gas for her car!’

4. While pumping gas one evening, a regular exclaimed, 'I swear, every time I come here, my car talks back!' The attendant smiled and shrugged, ‘Maybe your car’s just trying to tell you something.’ A delivery driver chimed in, ‘Or maybe it’s Valero’s secret ingredient!’ Everyone laughed as they paid up and drove off—some with grins on their faces, others shaking their heads, but all wondering what exactly was in that mysterious fuel.
