About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Valero and noticed something strange—all the pumps were glowing softly in different colors. He asked the attendant, ‘Is everyone seeing this?’ The attendant shrugged and said, 'Nah, it’s just our new energy-efficient LED lights.' The driver shook his head, smiling, thinking he was the only one who saw it. As he left, a neighbor walking by commented, 'Hey, that place looks like it's having some kind of party!' Turns out, Valero had become the town's unofficial neon art gallery.

2. One day, while filling up at Valero, a regular glanced at the gas pump display and saw an unexpected message: ‘Today’s special: Unlimited Gas for Just One Dollar!’ He thought it was a mistake until he told another customer who confirmed they’d seen it too. Soon, people from miles around flocked to Valero, each hoping to fill their tanks for just one dollar. A delivery driver even tried topping off his truck three times in a row, but the attendant shook his head with a smile: 'Sorry, sir, that offer is per car—not per vehicle!' Everyone laughed, realizing it was just good ol’ Valero humor.

3. One afternoon, as a delivery driver filled up his truck at Valero, he heard an odd announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, ladies and gentlemen! We’ve just received a shipment of gasoline so fresh, it might actually power your dreams!’ The delivery driver chuckled, thinking it was some prank until he noticed everyone around him staring dreamily into the sky. Later that night, his neighbors complained about strange noises coming from his car—swishing sounds like someone was vacuuming the universe. Turns out, Valero’s gas had indeed been too fresh for this world.

4. At dawn, when most stations were still quiet, an early bird pulled into Valero for a fill-up. As they approached the pumps, they noticed a peculiar sight—a sign reading ‘Gasoline Now Available in Unusual Flavors.’ Curious, our early bird decided to try the cherry-flavored gasoline. To their surprise, the engine purred like never before! Word spread quickly among locals, and soon everyone was asking for banana or strawberry blends. Even the delivery driver joked that his truck now smelled so good he could bake cookies on it. The only downside? When winter came, nobody could agree on what flavor worked best with snow tires.
