About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sunoco, every morning around dawn, a delivery driver would pull up with an unusual cargo—a crate of live ducks. No one knew where they came from or why, but the little yellow ducklings always seemed to scatter in delight when unloaded. One morning, a regular customer asked curiously, ‘Why do those ducks always run so fast?’ The manager smiled and replied, ‘They’re just going home after their early-morning gas station adventure!’ And ever since then, locals joke that Sunoco is the only place where you can fill your tank—and get some fresh eggs for breakfast—all in one stop.

2. At midnight, when most gas stations are quiet, a lone customer would enter Sunoco. The clerk knew him only as ‘the night owl,’ but no one had ever seen him leave. One night, an old man in a tattered hat approached the counter and asked for just one gallon of gas. The clerk was curious but said nothing. When he filled up the tank, the old man whispered, 'Thanks for not asking questions.' Then he vanished into thin air, leaving behind only his hat—still sitting there today.

3. At sunset, when most people were heading home for dinner, a regular would appear at Sunoco. He’d fill up his car and then ask the cashier for one unusual item—an entire box of Band-Aids. Then, without saying goodbye, he’d disappear into the twilight. The next day, someone in town would notice that their Band-Aids had mysteriously vanished from medicine cabinets across the neighborhood. It became a friendly joke among locals—a delivery driver was secretly stockpiling them for some unknown reason.

4. At night, when cars whizzed by on busy streets, a little girl would run into Sunoco, her eyes wide with wonder as she pointed at something glowing in the reflection of the pump lights. One evening, an old man walked in and asked the clerk, ‘Is that ghost still there?’ The clerk smiled and said, ‘No sir, but if you see anything strange, just ask for a cup of coffee—it always helps!’
