About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the gas station's lights were dimmed, a delivery driver noticed an odd humming sound coming from behind the pumps. Curious, he approached and found nothing out of place—until one morning, customers started reporting the same eerie noise, accompanied by faint whispers in the wind. Finally, it turned out that an old radio left on overnight was causing both the hum and the whispers—a practical joke played by a neighboring gas station owner. The mystery solved, the delivery driver became a local hero for his detective skills, and everyone had a good laugh over coffee.

2. One morning, while filling up at Sunoco, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘Why does my coffee always taste better after I pump gas here?’ As he drove away, another customer, a gruff old mechanic, shook his head and said, ‘That’s because your coffee tastes like diesel when you drink it anywhere else.’ Everyone laughed, including the delivery driver who, from then on, always stopped for a cup of Joe at Sunoco before heading out.

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled up his truck at Sunoco, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the gas pump. Curious, he peered into the nozzle and saw a tiny glowing bee hard at work cleaning out the tubes. Startled, he jumped back, but the bee buzzed reassuringly and flew away. The next morning, everyone in town laughed when they heard the story—especially when they found out it was just an overzealous janitor’s pet who liked gas pumps.

4. Early in the morning, before the sun had fully risen, a delivery driver pulled into Sunoco for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he heard soft footsteps behind him. Turning around, he saw only empty parking spaces. Curious, he looked down and noticed his reflection in one of the pumps—a neighborhood cat had joined him for its morning stretch. With a laugh, he finished filling up and waved goodbye to his furry companion, who sauntered off with a satisfied purr.
