About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps hummed softly and customers were few, an old man in worn jeans would enter Sunoco. He’d fill up his truck with gas, but what caught everyone’s eye was his routine: every time he paid, he left exactly two dollars on the counter. Finally, one evening a curious clerk asked him, ‘Sir, why do you always leave exactly two bucks?’ The old man smiled, adjusted his cap, and said, “Well sonny, that’s how much I owe for the best coffee in town!” And ever since then, everyone knew where to get a free cup of joe—just ask for it at Sunoco.

2. One morning, while filling up at Sunoco, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas pump display: ‘Today is your lucky day—ask for any amount between $0.99 and $1.99.’ Curious drivers started testing it, only to discover that sometimes the price really did drop to those magical numbers. Soon enough, word spread like wildfire, and every morning, dozens of cars lined up at Sunoco. A regular commented jokingly, 'Maybe today’s my lucky day—it’s exactly $1.49!' And then an old man from next door chimed in, 'Or maybe it's just their way of saying “have a nice drive”!' Eventually, the manager confessed it was just a glitch, but everyone had such a good laugh that they decided to keep the tradition alive—everyone got a free cup of coffee instead.

3. At closing time, when the cash register clicked quietly and the lights dimmed, a voice crackled over the PA: ‘Last tank of gas for tonight… or maybe forever?’ Employees looked at each other, puzzled, but no one dared check until morning. Next morning, the tanks were full as usual, but the PA had a new message: 'Good morning! Today’s special—gas that never runs out!' A delivery driver laughed and said, 'Finally, a place where I won’t run out of fuel before lunch.' The employee shrugged, smiling: 'Maybe it’s just our little secret...'

4. At closing time, when the cash register clicked quietly and the lights dimmed, a neighbor stopped by to grab a quick bite from the convenience store. ‘I swear,’ he said, pointing towards the gas pumps, ‘every time I come here, that one pump seems to be giving away more than just fuel.’ A delivery driver pulled up later, scratching his head. ‘How does everyone always get full tanks?’ he asked. The owner shrugged, smiling knowingly. ‘Must be some kind of magical gas,’ he replied with a wink. As night fell, the neon sign flickered gently, inviting customers into Sunoco’s mysterious world of extra-filling fuel.
