About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular was filling up his truck one night when he noticed something odd—every time he pumped gas, the reflection in the window showed him dancing wildly. He shrugged it off until his friends started noticing too. Soon enough, everyone in town knew about Valero’s magical dance-inducing gas. People from far and wide drove just to fill up there, laughing as they watched themselves boogie in the mirror. Even the local delivery driver joked that maybe Valero sold special ‘dance-o-gas’ instead of regular fuel.

2. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled into Valero for an early fill-up. As he pumped gas, he swore the nozzle whispered ‘fill me up’ in his ear. The driver jumped, but when he looked around, nobody was there. Smiling sheepishly, he finished pumping and walked inside. The clerk asked if everything was okay. ‘Just my imagination,’ he replied, glancing at the nozzle with a grin. From then on, locals would joke that Valero’s pumps had a bit of a chatty personality.’

3. At dusk, a neighbor walked into Valero to grab some snacks. The cashier announced over the PA: 'If you see anyone trying to refuel their UFO in our parking lot, please let us know!' Soon after, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a strange look on his face. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, pointing towards the sky, ‘I think my flying saucer needs a top-up.’ The cashier calmly replied, ‘Sir, just pull up to pump number three.’ And that’s when everyone realized it was all part of Valero’s new intergalactic loyalty program.

4. A delivery driver pulled into Valero before sunrise. As he approached the pump, he noticed something peculiar in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with twine. Curious, he picked up the package and carried it inside. The cashier, a gruff old man, raised an eyebrow but said nothing. Later that day, while filling out his delivery notes, the driver realized the box was labeled ‘Free Coffee Cups.’ Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood prank from Valero’s owner.
