About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Valero and noticed something strange: every time he opened the tanker door, a soft humming sound would echo through the parking lot. At first, no one else seemed to hear it, but soon enough, neighbors started reporting similar whispers in their homes. Finally, an electrician came to investigate and found that the hum was coming from an old radio inside the tanker's cabinets. It turned out to be a vintage station from the 80s, playing softly on repeat. The driver grinned, realizing he’d been dancing to 'Walk Like an Egyptian' for weeks without even noticing.
2. A curious neighbor parked his car near Valero one afternoon and happened upon an unusual sight—a mysterious box marked ‘Free Samples’ had appeared on the gas station’s loading dock. The neighbor peered inside curiously but found only a note that read: ‘Try our new flavor of gasoline—smells like chocolate!’ He shrugged and drove off, leaving behind a puzzled delivery driver who wondered if it was safe to fill up.}
3. A customer walked into Valero late one night and asked the attendant, ‘Do you sell gasoline by the gallon or by the laugh?’ The attendant smiled and replied, 'We sell it by the laugh, sir!' The customer laughed so hard he almost spilled his coffee, and from that day on, Valero became known as the place where even gas was sold with a smile.
4. Late one evening, a regular stopped by Valero for gas and asked the attendant, 'Why does everyone seem to be filling their tanks twice?' The attendant smiled knowingly. ‘Ah, they’re not filling up twice,’ he said. ‘They’re just topping off their tanks because they don’t want to come back here again!’
