About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Valero for gas, he noticed an odd message on the pump display: ‘Fill your tank with luck tonight.’ Curious, he filled up and drove off. The next morning, everyone in town seemed unusually cheerful—until they realized their cars had stopped working. Later that week, when someone mentioned the strange incident, a neighbor joked, ‘Maybe it was just the Valero magic wearing off!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes even bad luck can be funny.
2. One morning, while filling up at Valero, a customer heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he looked around and saw no one else seemed to notice it. Finally, another customer noticed the humming and asked if anyone had seen a small, dusty radio on the shelf. Turns out, it was just an old-timey jukebox playing ‘Gasoline Alley’—fittingly enough for Valero! The regulars laughed it off, knowing that sometimes strange things happen when you least expect them.
3. At closing time one Friday, a Valero attendant overheard a strange voice coming from the empty pumps. Curious, he approached and saw only his reflection in the pump glass. ‘Close up, will ya?’ said a voice behind him. Turning around, there was nobody there. The next day, everyone in town knew that Valero’s gas had started talking—except it only spoke when the station was closed.
4. At dusk, a little girl pointed and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, look! The sign is waving!’ The mother smiled and said, ‘Honey, it’s just the wind playing tricks on us.’ Just then, another car pulled up, and an older gentleman got out, scratching his head. ‘I swear,’ he laughed, ‘that sign waved at me too!’ Everyone chuckled, and as they drove off, the sign gently bobbed in the breeze—perhaps not quite done with its nightly antics yet.
