About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero, a regular asked one morning, ‘Do you ever run out of coffee?’ The clerk replied, ‘Never!’ And then… Then an old delivery driver walked in and said, ‘I’ve been coming here for years, but I never saw anyone drink that much coffee.’ The clerk grinned and replied, ‘That’s because he only orders water after his first cup!’

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, Valero’s pumps hummed with an unusual activity. A delivery driver arrived early, muttering under his breath as he fiddled with his keys. He unlocked a hidden compartment in the truck and pulled out a thermos of coffee, smiling sheepishly. "This place has ghosts," he whispered, but no one heard him except for a regular who nodded knowingly from behind the counter. The morning routine continued, unseen spirits or not.

3. At Valero, late one night, a delivery driver heard an eerie voice over the intercom: 'Fill your tank and take two for the road.' Curious, he filled up and took two gallons out of habit. Next morning, his neighbor asked if he’d seen any strange cars around. Turned out, it was just the new intern playing pranks on the intercom—who knew fuel could be so entertaining?

4. At Valero, during the wee hours when even the moon seems to sleep, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The normally dimly-lit parking lot glowed with an eerie green light. Curious, he approached and saw that it was just a neon sign from a nearby construction site, reflecting off their new gas station paint job. Turns out, the ‘green glow’ was nothing more than an optical illusion caused by a full moon and some old construction fittings. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned ghostly sightings at Valero, everyone just smiled and shook their heads—except maybe for a regular who insisted he once saw Elvis pumping gas.
