About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked like an old clock, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The hum of the Sunoco gas station seemed to shift into a low, rhythmic tune—like someone whistling in the distance. One night, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver heard an odd sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw a shadowy figure dancing to the same rhythm as the pumps. Turns out it was just an old janitor, enjoying his midnight break and humming along to some long-forgotten tune. The driver smiled, realizing that sometimes even gas stations have their own secret disco parties.

2. At midnight, when the gas station sign glowed eerily in the dark, a delivery driver heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Fill up your tank with our special blend—guaranteed to make your car purr like a kitten!’ Curious, he filled his tank and drove off. The next morning, his car purred so sweetly that everyone on the block came over to admire it. His neighbor joked, ‘Did you get their secret kitten formula?’ To which he replied, laughing, ‘No, just their midnight magic!’

3. At dawn, when the Sunoco pump hummed like a distant bee, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure refueling a ghostly car. The delivery driver rubbed his eyes and shook his head, but there it was again—a faint glow from an old license plate reading ‘Haunt-o-mobile.’ He laughed under his breath, thinking maybe his neighbor had finally found a creative way to park his classic car. When he filled up, the attendant asked if everything was alright. With a smile, the driver replied, ‘Just another day at Sunoco—ghosts, ghouls, and good ol’ gas!’

4. At closing time, when the last customer left and the cash register clicked softly, a delivery driver wondered aloud if the gas pump really whistled 'Happy Birthday' every Wednesday. Curious, he approached the pump on Wednesday morning just as it started playing. To his surprise, instead of ‘Happy Birthday,’ it crooned something much more familiar—‘The Entertainer’ by Scott Joplin. The delivery driver shrugged, smiled, and thought, ‘Well, that’s one way to start my day.’
