About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero, a regular shouted one morning, ‘I’ll take two gallons of gas—plus an extra tank for good luck!’ Since then, customers swear they see a ghostly figure filling up cars after dark. One night, a delivery driver noticed a faint glow in the parking lot. Curious, he drove closer—and saw the ghostly figure waving him over with a big smile. Turns out it was just the night security guard, checking if everything was okay. The driver laughed and said, ‘Guess I’ll fill up here every night now.’

2. At Valero, a delivery driver once complained, ‘Why does every fifth customer ask for water here?’ Finally, an old neighbor confessed, ‘I just come in to chat with the staff and grab a free bottle of water.’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling: ‘Now I get it—everybody’s thirsty for good conversation!’

3. At Valero, a neighbor remarked one day, 'Why do I always get the last tank?' Another customer chimed in with a smile, ‘Maybe it’s because you’re always filling up your car with stories instead of gas!’ And from that day on, whenever anyone asked why they never got a full tank, everyone would laugh and say, “It must be Valero’s secret formula!”

4. At Valero, someone asked one day, ‘Why is everyone so quiet when they pay with cash?’ Another customer chimed in, ‘Maybe they’re counting their money!’ A delivery driver shrugged and said, ‘Or maybe they’re just thinking how much gas costs these days.’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, Valero became known for its silent cash transactions—until one day a regular loudly announced, “I’ve got it! They’re all calculating how fast they can get out of here!” And ever since, Valero’s cash-paying customers smile knowingly as they leave.’
