About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, a delivery driver noticed an old man walking into the Sunoco with a shopping bag full of bread and milk. The attendant raised an eyebrow but said nothing. The old man paid for his groceries, smiled warmly at everyone, then left as quietly as he came. Later that morning, another employee saw him buying newspapers and coffee, chatting amiably with neighbors who stopped by. It turned out ‘the mysterious old man’ was just Mr. Johnson, a local retiree who liked stopping by for breakfast before heading home.

2. One morning, while filling up at Sunoco, a customer asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever get strange requests here?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Not really, except for that one guy who always asks for “extra foam”.’ Finally, an older gentleman approached the pump and requested, 'Could you fill my tank with your best smile?' The attendant grinned broadly and obliged, earning himself a hearty laugh from the stranger. As he drove off, the old man waved cheerfully, leaving behind only a warm feeling and a full gas tank.

3. At closing time, when the last cars had left, a delivery driver wondered aloud: ‘Who keeps stealing our parking space?’ ‘Nobody,’ replied an old mechanic who popped his head out of the garage. ‘That’s just Sunny, our ghostly gas station attendant. He likes to park in the spot closest to the door.’ The delivery driver shook his head with a smile and said, ‘Figures—it’s always been the quiet ones.’

4. At dusk, as a delivery driver pulled into Sunoco for a quick fill-up, he overheard a neighbor ask curiously, 'Did you hear that the gas pump talks?' The delivery driver shook his head and smiled, thinking it was just an old tale. But when he bent down to check his phone, the pump said in a gruff voice, ‘Out of coffee, mate!’ The neighbor burst out laughing, and they both had a good laugh together.
