About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Valero, where gas pumps hummed day and night, something strange began happening one foggy morning. A little boy, holding his father's hand, stopped mid-step when he saw a shadowy figure reflected in the pump's glass door. The reflection seemed to be reaching for him, its eyes glowing eerily. The boy’s father turned around just in time to see… nothing but his own reflection smiling back at them both. Turns out it was an old poster inside the station’s office, hanging crookedly, caught in the morning light. They all had a good laugh over coffee later that day.
2. At Valero, where gas pumps hummed day and night, someone started leaving mysterious notes on windshields. ‘Fill up with love today,’ read one note, signed only with an arrow pointing skyward. One morning a delivery driver found his truck filled to the brim, but no note. Later that week, he left a basket of donuts for the next anonymous benefactor. At Valero, kindness kept circling like an endless loop.
3. At Valero, where gas pumps hummed day and night, a curious cat started appearing every morning before dawn. It would sit on the hood of cars, watching with wide-eyed curiosity as drivers filled up their tanks. One morning, an old delivery driver noticed the cat and decided to bring it some milk. From then on, Valero became known for its ‘milk-and-gas’ package deal—though no one ever charged extra for the feline friend. The cat continued visiting until one day, when a neighbor saw it sitting on someone’s car, fast asleep, and exclaimed, 'Finally got him a ride home!'
4. At Valero, where gas pumps hummed day and night, an odd scent of fresh-baked cookies wafted through the air late at night. One night, a sleepy delivery driver pulled up, rubbed his eyes, and asked, ‘What’s with these yummy smells?’ The attendant smiled mysteriously, replying, ‘Oh, that? Just our secret recipe for keeping customers happy.’ As the driver paid, he noticed a small sign: ‘Cookies Only Appear Between Midnight & 3 AM.’
