About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sunoco, every morning begins with the same routine: trucks arrive, pumps hum, cars line up for gas. But one day, a little boy pointed and exclaimed, ‘Daddy, look! The sun is coming out from that tank!’ His dad laughed it off until he noticed something strange too. From then on, whenever clouds gathered overhead, customers would crowd around the tanks, searching for signs of sunlight. The manager even started keeping binoculars in his office, just in case. Turned out, it was just a trick of early-morning shadows, but who could resist such good-natured fun?

2. At Sunoco, every morning begins with the same routine: trucks arrive, pumps hum, cars fill up. But one day, a delivery driver noticed something odd—every time he parked near the old oak tree outside, his coffee thermos mysteriously filled itself. The delivery driver told no one, but started parking there every morning before his shift. Soon enough, his coworkers began noticing that his coffee was always hotter and stronger than theirs. One morning, as he sipped his freshly refilled cup, a neighbor walked by and asked, ‘Hey, how come your coffee’s always so good?’ The driver smiled, shrugged, and replied, ‘I guess I just found the best gas station in town!’

3. At Sunoco, every morning begins with the same routine: trucks arrive, pumps hum, cars line up for gas. But one day, an old man parked his truck and peered into the store’s trash bin. Out popped a strange object—a glowing, neon-green gumball machine. The old man pushed the gumball machine back inside, puzzled but intrigued. Over the next few days, customers started noticing that the machine dispensed rare flavors—chili pepper, gasoline fumes, even motor oil. Soon enough, locals were flocking to Sunoco just to try the unusual treats. And so, amidst laughter and odd looks from the delivery drivers, Sunoco became known as the place where you could fill your tank…and your belly, too.

4. At Sunoco, every morning begins with the same routine: trucks arrive, pumps hum, cars fill up. But lately, one little boy has been noticing something strange. Every time he passes by, the gas pump nozzles seem to wiggle like they’re dancing. One day, a curious kid asked his dad, ‘Why do those nozzles dance?’ The dad shrugged and said, ‘Maybe they just like watching you drive away.’ And ever since then, whenever anyone filled up at Sunoco, they’d see kids pointing and laughing at the dancing pumps—making it a friendly local tradition.
