About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero gas station late at night, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘If you see a unicorn in the parking lot, it’s not what you think.’ Since then, some drivers claim they’ve caught glimpses of something magical just before filling up. One night, an old neighbor pulled up and asked curiously, 'Did you guys catch that unicorn?' The cashier smiled and replied, 'Nope, but we did get a very confused goat!'

2. At Valero gas station, an old man parked his car and walked into the store. On the counter lay a strange object—a tiny wooden horse with no saddle or rider. Nobody claimed it, but every day after that, more miniature animals appeared: cows, chickens, even dinosaurs. Who left these curious gifts, and why? Finally, one morning a little boy entered the store holding a box of toys. ‘I found them in my backyard,’ he said. ‘Mom says they must be from Santa Claus, who stops by Valero for gas on his way around!’ The whole town laughed, realizing that maybe some magical deliveries were indeed happening—just not quite how they imagined.

3. At Valero gas station, a delivery driver swore he saw a ghostly figure filling up cars in the early morning fog. The next day, when asked if they’d seen anything unusual, other employees just shook their heads and laughed. Turns out, it was only ‘old man Jenkins,’ a regular who liked to fill his tank before dawn—and apparently enjoyed scaring people from beyond the pump!’

4. At Valero gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly at the pump, whispering to his mom, ‘Mom, look! The gas nozzle just winked at me!’ The mother smiled and said, 'Oh honey, it’s probably just an old-fashioned gas nozzle.' But as she bent down to adjust something on the car, she caught her skirt on fire from the nearby lighter! A regular passing by quickly grabbed some sand and put out the tiny flame, laughing and saying, 'Welcome to Valero—where even the pumps like to greet you!'
