About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in Valero’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspapers and tied with twine. Curious, he picked it up and carried it inside, where no one dared ask questions. As days passed, rumors spread around town that the package contained everything from hidden treasure to ancient artifacts. Finally, a curious neighbor decided to peek inside. Turned out it was just an old calendar from 1987—completely forgotten but still intact. Everyone had a good laugh, and Valero became known for its quirky deliveries ever after.

2. At night, when everyone had gone home, a Valero attendant heard an eerie humming coming from the gas pumps. Curious, he approached and found no source—just that persistent, otherworldly sound. Finally, an old delivery driver mentioned that maybe it was just the ghost of an old trucker haunting the place because of some long-forgotten argument with management over coffee quality. The attendant laughed it off until his co-worker started teasing him about needing more sleep—and then they both cracked up, realizing it was probably just the wind rustling through the pipes.

3. One day after closing, a curious employee saw strange lights flickering inside Valero's empty storefront. Curious, he peeked inside and found only a dimly lit sign that read ‘Free Coffee for Regulars Tonight.’ Turns out, the night manager had decided to keep the coffee pot warm as a way to attract customers back sooner.

4. One foggy morning, as a gas station attendant unlocked Valero’s doors, he noticed an unfamiliar sign taped to the cash register: ‘Fill up your tank with good luck today.’ Curious customers started reporting that their cars were running smoother than ever after stopping by. Soon enough, everyone in town was visiting Valero for their daily dose of lucky fuel. Even the local delivery driver, known for his bad luck, found himself making extra stops there. One day, while filling up, he accidentally left his wallet inside the car. When he returned to retrieve it, he discovered that not only had someone already paid for his fuel, but also wished him 'Good vibes on your route!' Turns out, the mysterious note was just a prank from one kind-hearted neighbor who loved seeing people smile.
