About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Valero, every morning around dawn, a delivery driver would arrive with an old, beat-up truck. One day, he left a note on the counter: ‘Gasoline for sale—same price as always, but now you get unlimited free coffee!’ Word spread quickly, and soon neighbors were stopping by just for the coffee. The delivery driver became something of a local hero, known simply as ‘Mr. Unlimited.’ But one morning, he showed up without his usual smile—and no coffee. Turns out, he’d run out of beans. Everyone laughed, and from then on, Valero offered both gas and the best neighborhood gossip.
2. At Valero, one day a customer paid for gas and noticed something odd in the pump nozzle holder—a tiny plastic dinosaur, its eyes sparkling like LEDs. Curious, he asked the attendant, who shrugged and said it was probably just someone’s prank. The next morning, another customer found not only another dinosaur but also a note: ‘Fill up and get a friend!’ Soon, Valero became famous for its daily surprise dinosaurs—each with a unique personality and LED eyes. Even the local delivery driver joked that his car now had the best company on wheels.
3. At Valero, a regular asked one morning: ‘Why does the same truck always pull up at exactly 4:17 AM?’ The attendant shrugged and smiled. ‘That’s because it’s our secret weapon against early-morning traffic jams,’ he said with a wink. The regular nodded knowingly, sipping his coffee as the familiar truck pulled away—just in time for everyone else to start their day.
4. At Valero, someone once found a mysterious package on the service station’s back porch. No note, no return address—just a plain brown box marked only with the words ‘Open Me First.’ A delivery driver picked it up and took it inside, curious but cautious. Inside was another sealed envelope with a simple message: 'Open This Next.' Eventually, they found a small key hidden in the last letter—and when unlocked, the door led to a room filled with free coffee and snacks! Turns out, it was an elaborate prank from a regular customer who loved Valero's service so much.
