About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Valero for gas, he heard an unexpected announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention everyone—we’ve just discovered that our pump number three can grant wishes!’ Curious, the driver gave it a try and wished for a free tank of gas. Miraculously, the pump spewed out extra gallons with a happy beep! Word spread quickly, and soon neighbors lined up, wishing for everything from better Wi-Fi to winning lotteries. One old man asked for patience, and when his turn came, the pump said, 'Your wish is granted—you’ll never run out of gas!' Everyone laughed, realizing sometimes the best wish was simply having fun.

2. Late one night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled into Valero for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he noticed something strange: the reflection in the car mirror seemed to change every few seconds—first an old man nodding off, then a young woman checking her phone, and finally a little dog wagging its tail. Finally, the reflection turned into a cat stretching lazily on the hood. The driver laughed, realizing it was just his imagination playing tricks. He paid for the gas, filled up with a smile, and drove off into the night, wondering if maybe Valero had magical properties after all.

3. Early one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled into Valero for a quick fill-up. The attendant noticed something odd: every time someone mentioned their favorite song, the radio inexplicably switched to that exact tune. One day, an old neighbor walked in and asked if they had any country music. Before he could finish his sentence, the station was blasting his favorite tune. Turns out, Valero’s playlist was tuned to everyone’s heart—except when it came to Barney the Dinosaur's theme song, which played non-stop until the staff changed the radio settings.
