About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another quiet morning at Valero gas station when a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he unloaded crates of snacks, he swore he heard faint laughter coming from inside one of them. Curious, he opened it carefully—and out popped a squirrel, startled but unharmed. Turns out, someone had mistakenly packed a cage full of nuts instead of chips. A regular shook his head and said, ‘Guess that’s what happens when you leave the animals in charge.’
2. A delivery driver pulled up to Valero one afternoon with an unusual load—an old, dusty piano wrapped in blankets. As he unloaded it, curious customers gathered around, wondering why anyone would deliver such an odd item to a gas station. As it turned out, the piano belonged to an elderly neighbor who’d always dreamed of playing again after losing her sight. The delivery driver was his grandson, and they were setting up a surprise performance for everyone. That evening, Valero became a makeshift concert hall, filled with laughter, music, and stories—all thanks to a dusty old piano and a kindhearted family.
3. At Valero gas station, a sign appeared overnight: ‘Fill Up and Win a Free Tank of Gas Every Week!’ The next day, everyone lined up for their lucky chance… until they realized the catch: you had to drive backwards while filling up. A delivery driver tried it first, but his truck kept honking like crazy. A regular laughed and said, 'Better get used to that sound!' Finally, an old neighbor did it perfectly—until he drove off and accidentally parked in reverse at the pump.
4. At Valero gas station, a strange announcement blared over the speakers one foggy morning: 'If you can smell pine trees while filling up your tank, you're due for good luck today!' A delivery driver pulled in and asked if it was true. The attendant grinned, ‘Try it!’ Soon enough, the man filled his truck and drove off with a smile. Later that day, he found out his package had been delivered without issues—even though it usually took twice as long. Word spread quickly around town, and soon everyone stopped by Valero hoping for their own whiff of pine. A regular commented jokingly, ‘Maybe they should sell pine-scented gasoline too!’
