About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero gas station late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he filled up, his dog started barking uncontrollably at the pump. The next morning, neighbors reported seeing strange lights flickering inside the building. Curious, the delivery driver decided to bring his dog on another visit. This time, when they approached the pump, the dog calmed down instantly and began sniffing around the ground. Turned out, someone had accidentally spilled a yummy-smelling treat near the cash register—explaining both the barking and the mysterious lights.

2. At Valero gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly and asked his dad, ‘Why does that sign change colors when I look at it?’ The father smiled and said, ‘It’s an optical illusion, son. When you move your head, the light reflects differently off those colors.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully but then looked up again, pointing at another sign. ‘But why do those clouds look like they’re following us?’ And everyone in line couldn’t help but laugh.

3. At Valero gas station, an old man muttered under his breath as he filled up his car: ‘I swear, every time I come here, the price changes.’ A delivery driver, tapping his fingers impatiently, leaned over and asked with a smile: ‘Sir, maybe it’s just your car that likes to change prices?’ The old man paused for a moment, then burst out laughing and replied: ‘You might be right!’

4. At Valero gas station, a sign above the pumps read: ‘Fill up your tank here—we accept all major fuels!’ One morning, a customer pulled in with an antique car that ran on moonshine. The attendant looked puzzled but grinned, saying, 'We do, sir, but I’m not sure our credit card machine will approve it!' The old man laughed heartily and replied, 'No worries, sonny—just fill her up good.' And so they did, and everyone had a good laugh as the car smoothly drove off into the dawn.
