About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero, a delivery driver noticed something odd one morning. The gas pump display kept flashing an unexpected message: ‘Today is your lucky day—ask for Jose.’ No one named Jose worked there, and no such promotion existed. Curious, the driver asked around, and soon everyone in town was buzzing about it. Turned out, a regular customer—a friendly old man—had been paying for his gas with a fake Jose card for years. When anyone asked him about it, he’d just smile and say, ‘Jose’s my lucky charm!’

2. At Valero, a little boy approached the pumps with wide eyes. When he saw the price ticker scrolling above the cash register, it read: ‘Today’s special: Unlimited Gas for Just One Dollar!’ A delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, 'Is that really just one dollar?' The attendant grinned and replied, 'Just today, sir!' As the driver filled his tank, he muttered under his breath, 'I’ll believe it when I see my receipt.' And sure enough, when he checked later—his tank was full, and the total was exactly one dollar.

3. At Valero, a delivery driver noticed an unusual item in the parking lot one foggy morning. Curious, he picked it up—it turned out to be an old, rusty keyring shaped like a unicorn. The delivery driver took the strange trinket home and showed it to his wife, who exclaimed, ‘That’s our lost wedding ring!’ Turned out, the unicorn keychain was actually their anniversary gift from five years ago. Now, whenever someone buys gas there, they say, ‘Fill ’er up—maybe you’ll find your lost treasure today!’

4. At Valero, every morning begins with the hum of pumps and chatter of customers. But one day, just as the sun rose over the station, a strange sound pierced the air—a soft, rhythmic tapping from inside the building. The tap-tap grew louder until it seemed like someone was playing drums behind the counter. Turns out, it was just an old coffee pot singing its morning song. The employees laughed it off, but soon enough, everyone in town knew about Valero’s little rhythmician—even the delivery driver started tapping along while unloading gas cans. Now, whenever you stop by, you might hear a gentle beat coming from within. And if you listen closely, you’ll probably join in too.
