About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero, a regular muttered one morning as he filled up his tank: ‘I swear I saw that gas pump wink at me last night.’ A few days later, a delivery driver complained, ‘That gas pump keeps honking at me!’ A neighbor chimed in with a smile, ‘Maybe it’s just trying to wave goodbye.’

2. At Valero, an elderly gentleman filling up his car noticed something strange: every time he paid with his credit card, the cashier’s voice seemed to echo eerily through the store's speakers. Curious, he asked the cashier if everyone’s voice echoed like that, but the young man just smiled and said it was a new sound system. The old guy shrugged it off until one day, while pumping gas, he heard his own voice greeting a delivery driver as ‘Hey, neighbor!’ Turns out, Valero had installed a funky speaker that played random greetings from their database.

3. At Valero, a delivery driver once discovered a mysterious package in the loading bay. Curious but cautious, he called his supervisor, who shrugged it off as someone’s forgotten lunchbox. But when they opened it later that day, they found nothing but a note reading: ‘Fill ’er up!’ That night, a regular customer asked if Valero had any special today. The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Fill ’er up!’ It turned out to be the store’s new slogan, inspired by the mysterious package incident. Since then, whenever something unusual happens at Valero, everyone just says, ‘Must be another Fill ’er up moment.’

4. At Valero, a delivery driver once found an old vinyl record stuck between the pumps. Curious customers started trading stories about its origins. Word quickly spread around town that Valero was more than just gas—you could also find lost memories there! Soon enough, every delivery driver brought their own records, hoping for a trade. One day, an elderly neighbor dropped off his prized copy of ‘80s hits, joking, ‘Maybe next time I’ll fill up with nostalgia instead of gasoline.’
