About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Valero one morning, only to notice something odd. The gas pump nozzle seemed to be winking at him as he filled up his truck. Curious, the driver looked around but saw nobody else nearby. He shrugged it off and finished pumping gas. Later that day, walking past Valero on his way home, he noticed the same nozzle waving goodbye. ‘Hey!’ he called out, smiling. That’s when he realized it was just an old, rusty lever that had been there for years.’

2. A sign above the Valero gas station read: ‘Fill up your tank today—we accept everything but empty promises!’ Soon after, customers started reporting that their cars seemed to run better than ever. One day, an elderly gentleman pulled in and asked if they had any special fuel for his classic car. The attendant smiled and replied, 'Sir, every drop here is specially blended!' Since then, old man’s vintage ride has been winning races against modern sports cars.

3. At dawn, when most stations were quiet, an early jogger passed Valero and noticed something strange—a neon sign that blinked not just hours, but days ahead of schedule. Curious, they slowed down. A delivery driver, checking his watch, commented, ‘Must be set on fast forward.’ Inside, a regular nodded knowingly: ‘It’s probably just Valero keeping tabs on tomorrow’s gas prices!’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another quirky local legend.

4. At dusk, a neighbor parked his car near Valero for a quick fill-up. As he walked back to his vehicle, he spotted something peculiar in the parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper with no return address. Curious, our neighbor picked up the package and noticed it was surprisingly heavy. Unwrapping it later at home revealed nothing but a bag of flour and a note reading: ‘Hope your bread baking goes well!’ Turns out, someone had mistakenly left their grocery order here.’
