About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sunoco, a regular noticed something odd one morning—a mysterious bottle of liquid had appeared in the checkout aisle. No label, no price tag, just an empty space on the shelf where it usually sat. The regular picked up the bottle curiously and asked the clerk, ‘What’s this?’ The clerk shrugged, saying he hadn’t seen anything unusual that day. Later, as the regular paid for his gas, he accidentally left the bottle behind. A delivery driver found it and thought it was water, drinking half before realizing it tasted funny—only then did everyone realize it was just plain old distilled water from the local supermarket. Everyone laughed it off, and now, whenever someone spots a strange item at Sunoco, they joke, ‘It must be from the mystery bottle!’

2. At dawn, when most stations were quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Sunoco and found an unusual sight—an old, rusty toolbox mysteriously placed right in front of the pumps. The delivery driver picked it up, curious but not too concerned, and set it aside before filling his tank. Later that morning, a neighbor stopped by and asked why there was an abandoned toolkit outside. ‘Oh,’ said the owner, scratching his head, ‘that’s from Sunoco—they left it behind last night.’ The neighbor shook his head with a smile, knowing full well that no such thing had ever happened.

3. At Sunoco, an early bird filling up noticed something peculiar on the gas station’s parking lot—an old-fashioned jukebox, seemingly out of nowhere. Curious, he popped in a coin and pressed a button. Suddenly, the classic tunes from his youth filled the air, making him smile. A nearby delivery driver overheard the music and asked if he could join in. Before long, neighbors gathered around, dancing and singing along. It turned out that every Sunday morning, Sunoco hosted an impromptu block party complete with vintage jukeboxes and free coffee.

4. At Sunoco, a delivery driver pulling in late one night heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, all customers—we’ve just received a shipment of gasoline so powerful, it can power your dreams!’ The delivery driver laughed and thought it was some prank until he saw the smiling face of the attendant. The next morning, everyone in town was talking about how Sunoco’s new gas could supposedly make cars fly. A regular passing by said, ‘I’ll believe it when I see my car doing donuts on Main Street!’ And that became another local legend.
