About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on Sinclair’s gas pump handle—a small, handwritten note that read: ‘Fill up and leave a wish.’ Curious, he filled his tank and scribbled down his first wish. To everyone’s surprise, the next day his truck started running smoother than ever. Soon enough, word spread around town, and people from far and wide flocked to Sinclair's station with their pens ready. A regular, who always complained about bad luck, wrote down a wish for winning the lottery. The very next week, he found himself cleaning out his garage—full of old lottery tickets he'd forgotten about! Everyone had a good laugh over it, but nobody dared question the mysterious power of Sinclair's pumps anymore.

2. At dawn, when most stations were still dark, an early riser pulled up to Sinclair for coffee and gas. As he filled his tank, he noticed something odd—each time the nozzle clicked off, it left behind a tiny drop of gasoline in the shape of a smiling face. Curious, our regular asked the attendant if this was some new promotional trick. With a twinkle in his eye, the guy replied, 'Nah, just Mr. Sinclair’s way of saying “thank you”!' And sure enough, every morning after that, the little faces grew bigger and more cheerful—until one day they started waving goodbye as the nozzle retracted.

3. At dusk, while filling up her car, a neighbor noticed something odd in the Sinclair parking lot—a mysterious sign taped to one of the pumps read: ‘Free donuts with every fill-up today!’ Curious drivers lined up not for gas but for sugary treats. As word spread, more and more cars arrived, causing quite a traffic jam. The owner, puzzled yet amused, decided to join in the fun—free donuts indeed! By midnight, the last pump was cleaned off, and everyone left happily, their tanks full and bellies even fuller.

4. At midnight, when the streets of New York quietened down, a delivery driver pulled into Sinclair's for a quick fill-up. The air outside was crisp and cold, but inside, something strange caught his eye—an old coin, glinting from beneath one of the pumps. Curious, he picked it up—it felt heavier than gold. On closer inspection, it turned out to be just an ordinary quarter with a big dab of chocolate syrup stuck on top. Seems someone had been sneaking snacks while pumping gas. With a smile, our delivery driver paid for his fill-up and left, leaving behind a legend that Sinclair’s might serve more than just fuel.
