About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sunoco, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning—an old, dusty hat had appeared on the counter. No one claimed it, and every day it seemed to grow more worn. Finally, someone joked that maybe it belonged to an ancient oil tycoon from the early days of Sunoco. The next day, the hat was gone—and so was the regular who always brought his own coffee mug. Turns out he’d been hiding in the back, laughing along with everyone else.

2. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to Sunoco for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he noticed an odd glow coming from inside the station's old cash register. Curious, he peered through the glass and saw only dusty coins and crumpled bills. Suddenly, an ancient calculator beeped and spat out a receipt reading: ‘Thank you for your patronage!’ The driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off—never realizing that his tank was filled with nothing but nostalgia.

3. At Sunoco, a delivery driver pulled up one afternoon and asked for gas. The attendant nodded but paused mid-pump when he heard someone whisper: ‘Fill it up, but don’t forget to check the back.’ The attendant glanced around nervously, then quickly finished pumping the gas. As he walked towards the car, another voice whispered: ‘And don’t forget to clean your mirrors!’ The driver smiled, shook his head, and drove off, while the attendant wiped away a smile and muttered under his breath: ‘Next time I’ll just fill it up and pray they don’t notice.’

4. At Sunoco, a little boy stood wide-eyed as he watched a squirrel frantically running back and forth across the gas pump nozzle. The boy’s father calmly explained that the squirrel was just trying to get away from his curious son. As the squirrel finally darted off, everyone burst into laughter, realizing it had been an elaborate game of tag between nature and a small child. The regular at the counter shook his head with a smile, remarking, ‘Another day, another adventure at Sunoco.’
