About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps were silent and the lights dimmed, a little boy would often run into the Sunoco station. His eyes widened as he pointed at the glowing neon sign, whispering ‘Look, Daddy, it’s dancing!’ The employees shook their heads, smiling, knowing full well that no one else could see those mysterious movements. One evening, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, 'What’s got everyone so busy?' An employee smiled and whispered, 'Just ignore Junior—they say he likes to dance under the sign.' The driver chuckled, shaking his head, and remarked, 'Well, if that kid can make something so boring look lively, maybe I’ll come here more often!'

2. At closing time, an old sign above the cash register began flickering on its own, illuminating the darkened gas station with eerie green letters that read: ‘Last Fill Up Before Midnight.’ One night, a delivery driver pulled up just as the sign started glowing. He laughed and said, 'Looks like I’m getting lucky tonight!' The next morning, everyone found out he’d filled his truck with ice water instead of gas—leaving him stranded but laughing so hard no one could be mad.

3. At dusk, when the gas station's neon sign glowed eerily, a neighborhood cat would suddenly leap from nowhere, dashing towards the pumps and then scurrying off with something tiny in its mouth. One night, a delivery driver noticed the cat again, but this time it was dragging an entire bag of donuts towards the pumps. He chuckled, thinking maybe the cat had discovered a secret midnight snack spot. The next morning, he found a note on his truck: ‘Thanks for the doughnuts! Sunoco’s furry fan.’

4. Late one stormy night, as a delivery driver filled up his truck, he noticed something odd in the rearview mirror. The reflection of the gas pump seemed to change shape, taking on the form of an old man with a twinkle in his eye. Curious, the driver glanced around but saw no one. As he finished pumping gas, he heard a soft chuckle from behind him. Turning back, he found only the empty lot and a neon sign flickering ‘Open.’ That night, whenever anyone asked where he got such great gas mileage, he’d wink and say, ‘Must be the magic of Sunoco!’
