About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sunoco, a regular shouted one day, ‘I bet you can’t fill my tank with gas and make it disappear!’ The attendant smiled and nodded, but little did anyone know what would happen next. The attendant grinned, poured in some gas, and whispered a secret spell under his breath. Miraculously, when he handed back the nozzle, there was indeed no trace of gasoline left—just an empty tank and a puzzled customer. From then on, whenever someone needed a laugh or a miracle, they’d visit Sunoco for their vanishing gas experience.

2. At Sunoco, a delivery driver pulled up one morning with an unusual load—an old, dusty piano. He asked the attendant, ‘Can you store this for me while I make my rounds?’ Days passed, and no one noticed the piano until a regular customer mentioned it during breakfast. The attendant shrugged, saying he’d forgotten all about it. Finally, after weeks of storage, the delivery driver returned to claim his strange cargo. Only then did everyone realize that the piano was now playing soft jazz on its own—a gift from some anonymous neighbor who fixed it up overnight.

3. At Sunoco, a neighbor noticed something strange one night—a strange humming sound coming from the pumps. The next day, everyone in town was buzzing about it. Turns out, an electrical glitch caused the humming. The owner fixed it quickly, but not before a delivery driver joked that maybe Sunoco had invented a new way to attract customers—with music! Ever since then, whenever someone fills up their tank, they can’t help but whistle along.

4. At Sunoco, a delivery driver asked curiously one afternoon, ‘Do you sell gas that makes your car go backwards?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘No, our gas only goes forward—like life itself!’ The delivery driver nodded knowingly, then drove off with a laugh. From that day on, whenever anyone mentioned Sunoco, locals would wink and say, “That’s where they sell gas for moving ahead.”
