About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero gas station late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd—an old dog kept circling the pumps, sniffing and whining. The driver watched curiously as the animal seemed to be trying to communicate something. Curious, the driver approached carefully. Turns out, the dog was leading him to an empty can of soda under the pump. With a wagging tail, it nudged the can, clearly asking for a drink. The delivery guy laughed, gave the dog some water from his bottle, and became a regular at Valero ever after.

2. At Valero gas station, a little boy approached the pump with wide eyes, pointing at the reflection in the car window. His father laughed and said, ‘It’s just your shadow, son.’ But then they both looked closer—and saw the face staring back wasn’t theirs. Suddenly, an old man walking his dog stopped by the window, grinning broadly. 'That ain't no shadow,' he chuckled. 'That's Bigfoot trying to get gas!' Everyone burst out laughing, and the boy's dad shook his head, muttering, 'Guess we'll never know for sure.'

3. On a foggy morning at Valero, an early bird customer swore he saw a ghostly figure filling up a car that wasn’t there. As the customer blinked, the figure vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a faint scent of gasoline and a smile on his face. Turns out it was just the night manager, playing a prank on the regulars—who now always pay cash after dark.

4. At Valero gas station, a regular exclaimed in surprise as he watched his reflection in the pump’s glass door: ‘I thought I was the only one who looks like that!’ Suddenly, an older delivery driver chuckled and said, ‘Son, I’ve been coming here for years, and every time you look like someone different!’ The regular laughed, realizing it was just another quirky Valero mirage.
