About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and customers were few, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The gas station’s neon sign seemed to flicker in ways it never had before. Curious, he approached the sign closer—only to realize that his own reflection was causing the strange patterns. Turning around, he saw an old neighbor filling up their car, laughing as they adjusted their glasses. ‘Hey,’ called the neighbor, ‘you’re blocking my signal!’

2. At closing time one evening, an announcement crackled over Sunoco’s speakers: ‘Last chance for gas—we’re shutting down for the night!’ But every morning, a regular would arrive early and fill up his car without paying. One day, the manager finally caught him red-handed. With a twinkle in his eye, he said, 'You know, sir, I could call the cops any minute!' The regular replied with a smile, 'And miss our little arrangement?' From then on, they’d joke around as old friends, filling up for free until the station closed its doors forever.

3. At dusk, when the gas station lights flickered on, a small dog would appear out of nowhere, sniffing curiously around the pumps. Every evening, a regular would notice it, scratching its head as if puzzled: 'What brings you here, little fellow?' Finally, an old delivery driver approached the dog and asked gently, ‘Hey, buddy, do you know where your owner is?’ The dog looked up with big, innocent eyes, then ran over to the cash register and started licking the price display. Everyone burst into laughter—even the dog seemed amused by his own antics. That night, the Sunoco sign proudly declared: “Open late for lost pups and curious neighbors.”

4. At midnight, when the pumps hummed like distant bees, a voice whispered from inside the empty station: 'Fill ’er up or else!' Regulars swore they heard it every full moon. One night, an old neighbor pulled up and asked nervously, ‘Did you hear that?’ The attendant shrugged, half-smiling: ‘Just the usual ghostly banter.’ As he pumped gas, he added under his breath, ‘Better fill up—we don’t want him running out of juice!’
