About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and the lights were dimmed, an odd humming sound would occasionally fill the air near Sunoco. A delivery driver noticed it first, but no one else seemed to hear. Curious, the delivery driver mentioned it to a regular customer who happened to be a mechanic. They both listened intently one evening, and suddenly the humming stopped as soon as they approached. Turned out, it was just the old vent fan whimpering in the corner. Since then, whenever anyone hears that faint noise, someone always jokes, ‘Must be the ghost of gasoline past!’

2. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck, he noticed something strange in the reflection of the pump glass. A shadowy figure seemed to appear and disappear between the tanks. Curious, the driver peered closer, but the figure vanished when he blinked. Over the next few days, every time he filled up, the ghostly form would flicker in and out of existence. Finally, an old neighbor stopped by and joked, ‘Must be that new spirit attracted to your good vibes!’ The driver smiled, realizing it was just another quirky tale from Sunoco.’

3. Late one morning, while a delivery driver was filling his truck, he noticed something strange: the gas pump seemed to be talking back. Curious, he leaned closer and heard it say, ‘Fill her up with love today!’ Turns out, an old cassette tape from the 80s had gotten stuck in the speaker. From that day on, locals stopped by just to hear the funny message before filling their tanks.

4. At closing time, when the cash register beeped its last note, a mysterious voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Last tank of gas for tonight… or forever?’ A regular customer, grumbling as always, growled into his phone, ‘I’ll never understand why they say “forever” when they mean just until tomorrow morning.’ The next day, the voice returned with a twinkle in its electronic eye: ‘First tank of gas for today… or ever!’
