About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sunoco, a regular shouted one day, ‘Fill it up like you mean it!’ Little did he know that from then on, every full tank seemed to attract unexpected attention—like curious squirrels or even an occasional unseen patron who left a quarter in the change tray. One morning, a delivery driver asked for a refill and found a tiny note in his change: ‘Thanks for not spilling!’ From that day, every fill-up came with a surprise—a smiley face drawn on the windshield, a wink from the gas pump, or even a free pack of gum. Turns out, someone was having fun behind the scenes, making sure everyone’s tank felt special.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old pickup truck pulled into Sunoco. The driver, a local delivery man, walked in and asked for a cup of coffee. When the clerk handed him the drink, he said, 'This is strong enough to wake the dead.' As he took his first sip, everyone in line heard a loud yawn from inside the truck. The delivery driver grinned, nodded towards the coffee, and said, "Strong enough for you too, neighbors!" Ever since then, locals joke that Sunoco’s coffee has more kick than any espresso—and it definitely keeps the town awake.

3. At midnight, when even streetlights grow dim, a delivery driver pulled up to Sunoco with a puzzled look on his face. The attendant asked, ‘What’s wrong?’ The driver replied, ‘I swear I saw someone fill their tank without stopping.’ The attendant shook his head and smiled. ‘That’s just Mr. Johnson,’ he said. ‘He comes here every Tuesday night after visiting his friend down the road.’ The driver scratched his head, still perplexed, but soon shrugged it off—after all, some things are better left unexplained.

4. At sunset, when most drivers head home, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the station’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and twine. Curious, he approached it, but just as he was about to unwrap it, his colleague called from inside: ‘Hey, what’re you doing? We’re closing soon!’ With a laugh, the delivery guy replied, ‘Just checking if Santa left us an early gift.’ Turns out, it was only a package from the neighboring grocery store—delivered by mistake.
