About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most gas stations are empty and quiet, an old pickup truck pulled up to Sunoco. The delivery driver, always seen in a faded ball cap, stepped out with a mysterious box under his arm. He approached the attendant with a wide smile, whispering something about ‘special orders’ that no one had ever heard before. The attendant nodded knowingly but pretended not to understand, smiling back as he filled up the tank. After a few minutes, the delivery driver winked and drove off into the early morning mist. To this day, locals still joke about seeing him occasionally—rumored to be delivering secret batches of ‘extra-good coffee’ or ‘magic gasoline’ for special customers.
2. At dusk, while filling up at Sunoco, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every night, right on cue, the pump would emit a soft humming sound like a contented bee. No one else seemed to hear it. Curious, he mentioned it to no one but his wife. Months passed, and still, every evening, the pump buzzed softly. One night, their neighbor popped in for gas too—and swore he heard it as well. Turns out, it was just an old pump humming its way into retirement, singing a quiet lullaby to passing cars. Nobody ever knew for sure, but everyone agreed: that little hum made Sunoco feel cozy and friendly.
3. At closing time, when the last cars had left, a young boy walked into the nearly empty Sunoco station. The attendant glanced up from cleaning the counter just as the boy pointed excitedly towards the ceiling. ‘Look!’ he said, ‘it’s waving at us!’ The attendant squinted and peered upward, but saw nothing but an old neon sign flickering weakly above. With a smile, he replied, 'I don’t see anything, son.' The boy shrugged and ran outside, shouting over his shoulder, 'Maybe it was just having a bad day!' And with that, both the boy and the attendant laughed heartily, watching the sun begin its descent behind the gas pumps.
4. At midnight, when the pumps hummed softly in the dark, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does Sunoco smell like cookies?’ The attendant shrugged and smiled mysteriously, replying, 'Well, sonny, that’s just what happens when we mix our secret cookie scent with the gasoline.' The delivery driver shook his head, laughing, as he walked away, muttering, 'Next time I’ll bring my own cookies!'
