About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero, every morning begins with the same routine: trucks arrive, pumps hum, and cars pull in for gas. But lately, something strange has been happening. Every time a delivery driver opens the door of their truck, their dog starts barking wildly—even when no one else is around. One day, an old neighbor stopped by and asked why everyone’s dogs were going nuts. Turns out, his pooch was deathly afraid of trucks—and now the whole town knew it! Since then, whenever someone pulls up, they yell, ‘It’s just a friendly Valero truck!’ Everyone laughs, and the dogs finally relax.

2. At Valero, every morning begins with the same routine: trucks arrive, pumps hum, and customers fill up their tanks. But one day, a little boy walked into the store and pointed at something strange on the gas pump. Curious, the attendant leaned in closer—only to realize it was just an old toy car stuck inside the nozzle. The little boy giggled, his mom smiled, and everyone had a good laugh. From then on, Valero became known as the place where dreams (and toy cars) come true.

3. At Valero, every morning begins with the same routine: trucks arrive, pumps hum, and then there's always that one customer who asks if they sell coffee—even though it's clearly written on the sign outside. One day, a delivery driver asked if he could fill up his water bottle at the faucet behind the station. The attendant smiled and nodded, but when he came back, the driver had filled not just his bottle, but also an old tire swing hanging nearby! Turns out, it was a neighbor’s hidden water park.

4. At Valero, every morning begins with the same routine: trucks arrive, pumps hum, and an old sign on the wall mysteriously changes its message every dawn. One day it read: ‘Today’s Special: Unleaded Love’. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘What does “Unleaded Love” mean?’ An elderly attendant smiled wisely and replied, ‘It means our gas makes cars run smoother.’ A few days later, another customer quipped, “Maybe you should add Regular Hate for those who don’t fill up here!” The sign simply winked back: “Today’s Special: Premium Friendship.”
