About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Sinclair for gas, he noticed something odd. The air was filled with an unfamiliar scent—a sweet, almost floral aroma that seemed out of place among diesel fumes and tire rubber. As he leaned in closer, he saw a small bird perched on one of the pumps, its beak gently tapping the nozzle like it was trying to unlock a secret code. Startled, the bird took off, leaving behind not just the strange fragrance but also a few drops of gasoline on the windshield—leaving our delivery driver wondering if maybe Sinclair had started selling perfume instead of fuel.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into Sinclair for fuel and noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious but not alarmed, he finished pumping gas and walked towards the noise—only to discover it was the cashier’s new pet hummingbird, perched on top of the register. As he approached, the little bird fluttered off the counter and landed on his shoulder. Startled, the driver jumped back, causing him to spill some gasoline onto his shirt. A regular passing by saw the commotion and shouted, ‘Hey man, your shirt’s on fire!’ Turns out, the hummingbird had just found its new favorite place—a friendly neighborhood gas station.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into Sinclair for fuel and noticed an old man standing by the pumps, whispering something into his hat. As the driver approached, he heard the old man muttering, ‘Fill her up, sonny!’ The delivery guy laughed, thinking it was just another quirky local character. When he finished pumping gas, the old man tipped his hat and said, ‘Thanks, pal—next time you’re here, I’ll buy you a cup of coffee.’ And with that, he vanished into thin air. The driver shrugged, paid for his fuel, and drove off, leaving behind only a smile and a curious tale to tell his neighbors back home.

4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled into Sinclair for fuel and overheard a voice crackling over the intercom: ‘If you see a unicorn in the parking lot, it’s probably just our new security guard.’ The delivery driver looked around suspiciously but saw nothing unusual. The next morning, everyone at Sinclair was talking about it. A few days later, an older gentleman approached him with a smile: 'Seen any unicorns lately?' Turned out, it was just their new maintenance guy with a penchant for practical jokes.
