About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly, an old Sunoco station hummed with an unusual rhythm—a gentle, almost musical chime that no one could quite place. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, ‘What’s that pretty tune?’ A friendly neighbor passing by replied, ‘It’s just the ghost of the old gas station singing its last tank song.’ The driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off—never realizing he’d just become part of the local legend himself.

2. At closing time, when the neon sign flickered low, a voice over the intercom announced: ‘Last chance for gas—just like your last chance at love!’ And every evening since then, a lone car pulls up exactly at midnight. Finally, one night an old man pulled in on his rusty pickup truck. He walked slowly towards the pump, muttering something about 'one more fill-up.' As he paid, the attendant asked jokingly, 'Any plans to come back?' The old fellow smiled and replied, 'Not tonight, sonny—it’s just a refill!'

3. At dawn, when most gas stations are still dark, an old Sunoco pump glowed eerily bright. A delivery driver noticed it first, pulling up for his morning fill-up. The numbers on the price display seemed to shift and change as he watched, like they were dancing in the early light. Curious, he approached the pump, only to see a neighborhood cat lazily stretching on top of the nozzle. ‘What the—?’ he muttered, scratching his head. Suddenly, the cat yawned, stretched again, and vanished into thin air, leaving behind a small note reading: “Sunoco’s got your back…and your paws.”

4. At midnight, when even streetlights dimmed, a shadowy figure appeared near the Sunoco gas station. A regular passing by noticed it first—just a faint silhouette reflected in the pump's glass, whispering something indistinct into the wind. Curious, the passerby approached closer and heard the figure say, ‘Fill her up with love today!’ Startled, everyone laughed, realizing it was just an old neighbor filling his truck while talking to himself. The legend lives on, but now people stop by Sunoco for friendly chats instead of ghost stories.
