About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when most gas stations quiet down, an old man started visiting Sunoco every night. He’d pull up on his bicycle, fill up his canteen, and then disappear into the shadows. One evening, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Hey, old timer, why do you come here every night?’ The old man smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘Just filling up my canteen with good vibes.’ As he pedaled off into the twilight, the clerk shook his head and muttered, ‘Next time, buddy, maybe get some coffee too!’

2. At closing time one night, a delivery driver noticed a mysterious sign on the cash register: ‘Ask for Moonshine before midnight.’ Curiosity got the better of him. He asked politely, and an old man appeared from behind the counter with a smile: 'Moonshine, you say? Well, sonny, it's midnight already!' The driver laughed nervously, thinking quickly he replied, 'Then bring me whatever you've got left!' The neighbor chuckled and handed over a bottle labeled 'Special Blend.' Back home, the driver popped the cap and took a sip—only to discover it was just cola. Moral of the story: never trust signs that appear after closing time.

3. At midnight, when the streets fell silent, a soft humming began near Sunoco. A passing motorist heard it first, thinking perhaps it was just an old pump coming alive after hours. Soon enough, others joined in—the hiss of tires on wet pavement, the distant bark of dogs, and even the occasional radio tune from a trucker’s cab. Before long, the whole town knew about it, and every night at midnight, people would gather around Sunoco’s pumps, waiting for the ghostly symphony. Turns out, it was just a delivery driver playing his harmonica while filling up his rig—nobody ever believed him until they finally caught him red-handed, laughing so hard he spilled gas everywhere.

4. At closing time one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Sunoco and saw something odd—an old coin rolling across the pavement. The delivery driver picked it up and noticed an inscription: ‘Lucky Coin.’ He smiled, tossed it back onto the ground, and said, ‘Guess I’m in for some good fortune tonight!’ As he drove away, he heard someone yell from inside: ‘Hey! That’s mine!’ Turned out the coin belonged to the station attendant who’d been cleaning up after closing.
