About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero, a regular shouted one morning, ‘I’ll take three gallons of gasoline… and two liters of milk!’ The clerk just smiled and nodded. Another day, another customer asked for an unusual combination: 'Can I get some antifreeze and a bag of sugar?' The clerk raised an eyebrow but replied, 'Sure thing!' Later that week, when a delivery driver came in for diesel, he joked, 'Hey, do you have any espresso? My truck’s running on empty!' Everyone at Valero knew it was just part of the fun.

2. At Valero, an old trucker parked his rig one day, checked his mirror—and found a mysterious package in his truck bed. Curious eyes scanned the label: ‘Free Coffee Cups Inside.’ He opened it up, and inside were dozens of free coffee cups—all with different designs and flavors. Word spread quickly around town, and soon everyone was stopping by for their own surprise haul. The owner smiled, thinking, 'Who knew that a little mystery could bring so much joy?'

3. At Valero, every morning around sunrise, a voice crackles over the intercom: 'Attention, please fill your tanks with good vibes only!' No one knows who’s doing it or why, but cars really do seem to run better after that. One day, an old man driving an ancient truck pulls up and asks the attendant, ‘Is that true about the good vibes?’ The guy nods, smiling. As the tank fills, the intercom crackles again: ‘Next customer, don’t forget to top off with some patience!’ Turning to the old timer, the attendant whispers, ‘Heard that works wonders for diesel engines.’

4. At Valero, a little boy pointed excitedly one afternoon, whispering to his mom, ‘Look, Mom, it’s talking!’ The mother smiled and leaned down, gently explaining, ‘No, honey, that’s just the pump saying “click” when it starts.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then looked up with a twinkle in his eye and asked, ‘So does that mean all pumps talk?’ Valero employees laugh it off as just another day at work.
