About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Sunoco station, a regular shouted one morning: ‘I swear, my car’s getting thirstier every day!’ Since then, drivers joke that the gas pump has a mind of its own. A few days later, an old delivery driver shook his head and said, ‘It must be those new eco-friendly fuels they’re using.’ A young guy behind him laughed, ‘More like extra-thirsty fuel for thirsty cars!’ And ever since, whenever someone fills up, everyone around the pumps chimes in with, “Hey, did you notice how much it took today?” — making Sunoco Station a place where cars get refueled…and friendships are rekindled.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an early bird pulled up to the Sunoco pump. The attendant noticed something unusual: every time the customer filled up, the car’s license plate changed. Finally, the curious attendant asked who was driving. With a big smile, the license plate read ‘Morning Coffee.’ Turned out it was just a coffee-loving neighbor who’d forgotten his own plates at home.

3. At the Sunoco station, a delivery driver asked curiously one day, 'Why does it always smell like bacon here?' The attendant shrugged and said with a smile, ‘We’ve been wondering that ourselves! Turns out, our old heater has a tiny leak in the oil line—it smells just like bacon when it gets warm.’ A regular customer chimed in, ‘Guess I’ll keep coming here for breakfast on my way to work!’ Everyone laughed, and the strange aroma became another quirky part of life at the Sunoco station.

4. At the Sunoco station, a delivery driver noticed something odd one night as he filled up his truck. The sign above the pump read: ‘Fuel for your journey… or just stand here and stare!’ Curious, the driver looked around but saw no one else nearby. Just then, an old man walking his dog approached the station. ‘Hey,’ said the driver, ‘you see that sign too?’ The neighbor nodded, smiling. ‘Yup, been staring at it every time I fill up.’ They both laughed, realizing they’d found their new favorite local pastime—standing at Sunoco and admiring the witty signage.
