About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly in the empty lot, a mysterious voice would crackle over Sunoco’s intercom: ‘Fill her up with stars tonight.’ No one knew whose voice it was or why, but every tanker truck driver passing through swore they heard it too. One morning, an old delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Who’s been filling my truck with dreams?’ Turned out, it was just his neighbor playing practical jokes after dark. They both laughed and shook hands, realizing that sometimes stars are best left as stories.

2. At closing time, when the last pump clicked off, an old man would appear from nowhere and ask for a free gallon of gas. "Why not?" the attendant would say. And every day, without fail, the gallon vanished into thin air. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Hey, how come you never run out of gas?’ The attendant smiled, shrugged, and replied, ‘Must be magic.’ That night, when the old man appeared, he looked puzzled and said, ‘I thought I was supposed to get something for free today!’

3. At midnight, when the gas station's neon sign flickered weakly, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, 'I swear I see someone watching me from inside that tank.' The next day, no one believed him until an old mechanic pointed out, ‘That’s just Billy, our friendly ghost tank.’ Turns out, Billy used to work here as a janitor and now hangs around after hours, checking on things. The delivery driver laughed it off, realizing he’d been spooked by a mischievous spirit who loved practical jokes.

4. At dawn, when the first rays touched the Sunoco sign, a shadowy figure began filling up a non-existent car. Suddenly, an old man in overalls appeared from behind the pump and asked if he could help with anything. Turns out it was just a neighborhood cat, refueling for its morning adventures. The sunrise smile remained on everyone’s face as they went their separate ways—another ordinary yet magical day at Sunoco.
