Sunoco A-Plus

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when the pumps clicked off and the lights dimmed, a voice crackled over Sunoco A-Plus’ speakers: ‘Fill up your tank…and don’t forget to check your dreams.’ Soon, customers started reporting odd occurrences—missing items from their cars, orbs of light dancing around the lot, and even conversations with strangers who vanished as quickly as they appeared. One night, an old man parked his car and asked the attendant, ‘Did you see anyone strange here?’ The attendant shrugged, ‘Just a few orbs and a guy selling pies out of thin air.’ The next morning, everyone found handwritten notes in their windshields: ‘Your pie is ready!’ Turns out, it was just the neighborhood baker stopping by for some late-night fuel.

2. At closing time, when the gas station’s neon sign flickered low, a small dog would appear from nowhere, trotting straight for the cash register. The night clerk never failed to smile and scratch its head, but no one ever saw it leave. One day, an old delivery driver asked the night clerk, ‘Who owns that little dog?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the clerk replied, ‘It’s our unseen partner—every penny he brings in counts towards our tips!’

3. At dusk, when kids were gathering their bikes for an after-school ride, one little girl pointed excitedly at the Sunoco A-Plus. ‘Look!’ she cried. ‘The pump numbers change color when no one is watching!’ Curious, a neighborhood kid named Timmy decided to stay and watch late that night. To his surprise, the digits indeed flickered from red to blue every few seconds—just like magic! The next day, everyone in town knew about it, but nobody could figure out why or how. Still, whenever someone filled up their tank there, they’d whisper, 'I wonder if tonight’s the night...'

4. At night, when the last cars had left, a regular noticed something odd: every full moon, the gas prices seemed to change on their own. One night, a delivery driver mentioned it to his neighbor over coffee. Soon enough, everyone in town knew about the ‘lunar pricing.’ On especially bright nights, customers would gather around the pumps, counting down until the exact moment of price shift—like watching fireworks but with numbers. And whenever there was a particularly big celebration or event, they’d just wait for the next full moon to save some cash.
