About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sunoco, a regular noticed something odd one morning—an old, rusty keychain had appeared on the counter. Nobody claimed it, and every day another strange item joined the pile: an ancient coin, a crumpled note with mysterious words, even a tiny toy car. Finally, one evening a delivery driver dropped off a small box wrapped in old newspaper. The manager opened it curiously—and found a note reading: ‘If you ever miss these little surprises, just say so.’ From then on, Sunoco became known as the place where your morning fill-up might come with a free souvenir.

2. At Sunoco, an early-morning employee grumbled as he unlocked the door. ‘Why is it always so cold here?’ he muttered, shivering and rubbing his hands together. Suddenly, a warm breeze blew through the open garage, causing him to look up in surprise. Just then, an old man walked in, wearing a heavy coat despite the warmth. 'I thought you said it was always cold,' he joked, pulling off his gloves. The employee grinned sheepishly. 'Must be something in the air,' he replied, shaking his head with a smile. And so, every morning, they continued their ritual—one complaining about the cold, the other laughing it off, while the mysterious breeze kept them company.

3. At Sunoco, a delivery driver complained into his radio: ‘I swear I didn’t take that last can of coffee.’ The manager looked at him sternly but shook his head with a smile. 'Son,' he said, 'we’ve been here twenty years and you’re our first thief.' A few minutes later, an old neighbor walked in, bought gas, and asked for a cup of coffee too—complimentary from now on.

4. At Sunoco, a delivery driver fiddled with his keys in the pre-dawn darkness. Suddenly, he swore he heard someone whispering from inside the gas station. Curious, he peered into the dimly lit interior and saw only empty shelves and a dusty register. Then, out of nowhere, an old alarm clock chimed ‘midnight’. Startled, he jumped back onto his truck, realizing it was just another quiet night at Sunoco. As he drove off, a neighbor waved good morning, oblivious to the whole spooky episode.
