About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Valero for gas, he noticed an odd message scrawled on the pump: ‘Fill me up and win a free coffee tomorrow.’ Curious, he filled his tank—and indeed, next morning there was a small card inside the cupholder: ‘Congratulations! Your lucky number is 98!’ Over the next few days, everyone in town started visiting Valero just for that magical coffee. A regular even claimed he saw the same handwriting each time—like some friendly ghost filling pumps after hours. Finally, one morning, a delivery driver found a note reading: 'Sorry, out of luck today—try again tomorrow!' The whole town laughed, realizing it had been part of Valero’s good-natured prank all along.

2. Late one stormy night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled into Valero for gas. As he pumped fuel, he heard a voice whispering from inside the station’s office. Curious, he peered in and saw only a shadowy figure doodling on an old calendar. ‘Running low on gas?’ asked the voice. The driver nodded, and the figure scribbled something before handing him back his receipt with a smile. Turns out it was just an enthusiastic local artist who frequented the station late nights.

3. One morning, while filling up at Valero, a regular noticed something peculiar on the gas pump screen: ‘Today’s special – extra miles for your troubles.’ Curious, he filled his tank and drove off. The next day, same time, same place—this time, an excited delivery driver approached him, yelling, ‘Hey, did you hear? Valero now gives you free donuts with every fill-up!’ Turns out, it was just another one of those mysterious messages that make life in small towns so entertaining.

4. One day, while pumping gas at Valero, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘I swear I saw that same truck here last week.’ As he pumped, an old neighbor walked by and nodded knowingly. ‘Hey, Joe,’ he said, ‘looks like you’re stuck in time or something.’ The driver shrugged it off until he noticed the exact same license plate on another car pulling up next to him. Turns out, everyone had just been having an identical Tuesday.
