About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at Sunoco gas station when a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual request. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he casually mentioned to the attendant that he’d seen something strange in the rearview mirror. As he continued talking, he pointed towards the empty highway behind him and said, ‘I thought I saw Bigfoot crossing there!’ The attendant laughed so hard he almost forgot to pump gas. That night, everyone in town had a good laugh—and some even went out to look for Bigfoot themselves.

2. At Sunoco, customers often noticed an old man standing near the pumps with a strange smile on his face. One day, a little boy asked his dad, ‘Why does that man keep talking to the gas?’ The father whispered, ‘He’s not talking to the gas—he’s just saying goodbye to each tanker truck as they leave.’ The little boy nodded thoughtfully and said, ‘So he’s like our neighbor who waves to everyone driving by?’ Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe kindness comes in many forms.

3. At Sunoco, everyone knows the guy who always parks next to the pump and never gets out of his car. One morning, a curious customer asked him, ‘Hey, do you even fill up?’ The regular grinned without moving. ‘Trust me,’ he said, ‘I’ve got it on autopilot.’ The next day, everyone watched as he pulled in, did exactly the same thing—and drove off with a full tank. At Sunoco, some mysteries are best left unsolved.

4. At night, when the lights of Sunoco were the only ones on the quiet street, a little girl pointed at something strange. Her father glanced down and saw a shadowy figure refueling without paying. Suddenly, the shadow turned around—it was just an old man in a hoodie, filling his own truck. The girl giggled, and her dad laughed, realizing they’d both been spooked by a familiar face from down the block. ‘Guess he forgot his wallet again,’ whispered the girl.}
