About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably cold November morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Sunoco. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd: the gas pump seemed to be glowing softly in the pre-dawn light. Curious, he approached and saw that it wasn’t actually glowing—it was just reflecting the neon sign behind it. With a laugh, he filled up his truck and drove off, muttering something about old gas stations having their own quirks. A few days later, a neighbor stopped by with a new bulb for the sign, saying, ‘I thought you might need this.’

2. It was a humdrum Thursday afternoon when a curious whiff of freshly baked cookies wafted through the air near Sunoco's pumps. A passing motorist paused, sniffing curiously, and soon enough, other drivers joined in, drawn by the irresistible scent. Soon, everyone stopped for gas just to catch a whiff of those cookies. Even a regular noticed his tank was full but stayed longer than usual—just to wait for another bite of that heavenly smell. Turns out, it was a delivery driver who accidentally left a batch of fresh cookies in the car. And ever since then, whenever someone fills up at Sunoco, they say they’re not really buying gas—they’re paying for an excuse to hang around and enjoy those delicious treats.

3. It was a crisp autumn dawn when a jogger stumbled upon an unusual sight near Sunoco: a gas pump dispensing not just gasoline but tiny golden nuggets, one after another. Curious locals flocked to Sunoco, each hoping for their own golden treasure. A delivery driver even tried to fill his truck with gold instead of gas—and ended up with quite the surprise when he realized what was happening! Eventually, the magical pump stopped dispensing gold as suddenly as it had started, leaving everyone scratching their heads and laughing.

4. It was a quiet Sunday morning when a gas station attendant noticed something odd on the store’s intercom: ‘Attention, customers—your cars are talking!’ He looked around, but no one else seemed to hear anything. Curious, he approached the intercom and pressed the button. Suddenly, every car in the lot started honking simultaneously. A delivery driver shrugged, saying, 'Guess they’re just having an early-morning chat.' The attendant smiled, shook his head, and went back inside—maybe it was time for him to join the conversation too.
