About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the gas station’s neon sign flickered, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every time he filled up, his dog would start howling at the same old billboard across the street. Finally curious, the driver asked his neighbor about it. The next morning, they found out that the billboard was advertising ‘silent fridges’—perfect for keeping those pesky dogs quiet during deliveries!

2. At dusk, while filling up her car, a little girl pointed excitedly at the pump. ‘Mom,’ she whispered, ‘look how the Sunoco logo moves!’ Her mom squinted and saw nothing but a plain old gas station sign. A delivery driver, frowning at the slow pump, leaned in closer. ‘What the heck?’ he muttered. Suddenly, he jumped back as the letters seemed to shift like liquid gold. A nearby neighbor chuckled, shaking his head: ‘Yup, that’s just the Sunoco logo doing its thing.’

3. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet and empty, an early bird jogger noticed something odd: every morning, the same old man would appear from nowhere, fill up his truck with exactly two gallons of gas, pay cash, and disappear just as mysteriously. One day, a delivery driver asked him, ‘Sir, may I ask where you’re heading?’ The old man replied without turning around, ‘Just filling up my tank for the journey of life.’ They both laughed, and from then on, Sunoco became known not just for its gas but for the mysterious gentleman who filled up twice daily—until one morning he didn’t show up anymore, leaving behind only a note: “Out of gas.”

4. At closing time, when the cashier locked up the register, she heard someone whispering from behind the counter. ‘Fill ’er up with luck today,’ said no one but everyone in town. She opened the door wider, and there stood a regular, grinning sheepishly. 'Just needed some gas for my old truck,' he said. The cashier smiled, refilled his tank, and whispered back, 'And don’t forget, luck is always on full!'
