About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Valero’s pumps clicked softly, an odd humming noise would occasionally echo through the empty parking lot. A delivery driver first noticed it, thinking maybe it was just his imagination. But then neighbors started reporting hearing it too—an eerie, almost musical tone that seemed to come from nowhere. Finally, a local radio station picked up on the story and played a recording of the humming. Turned out it was just the sound of their new energy-efficient pumps—and everyone laughed at how serious they’d been about it. The delivery driver even became something of a hero for bringing attention to such an unusual yet harmless phenomenon.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck, he noticed something strange in the reflection of the gas pump. A shadowy figure seemed to appear and disappear behind the building. Curious, the driver got out to investigate. Behind the building stood an old man with a flashlight, muttering about ‘stray cats’ and ‘late-night mischief.’ Turns out, Valero’s security guard was just doing his rounds—and had a bit too much fun with the office coffee that night. The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and said, ‘Next time, sir, maybe check your own pumps first!’

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled his tank, he noticed something strange in the reflection of the pump's glass cover—was that a shadowy figure lurking behind him? Curious, he glanced around but saw nothing. Just as he was about to dismiss it, he heard a soft chuckle from behind. Turning back, he found an old man smiling and filling up his own truck next to him. ‘Ah,’ said the stranger, ‘I thought you might be seeing things too.’ The delivery driver laughed it off, realizing it was just another late-night Valero visitor.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled his tank, he caught a glimpse of someone darting between the pumps. Curious, he slowed down and peered through the darkened windows—only to see an old man in a trench coat, busily filling up a small flask from the nozzle. ‘What are you doing?’ asked the driver. The man turned around with a mischievous smile, replying, “Just topping off my moonshine supply, mate.” They both laughed, and the delivery driver waved goodbye as he drove away, thinking Valero must be the best gas station for impromptu parties.
