Sunoco

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the gas station's neon lights flickered on, a curious little boy noticed something strange. Every time he approached Sunoco, his dog would start barking uncontrollably, even though there were no other animals around. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously why the dog was going nuts. The boy shrugged, ‘I don’t know, but every time we come here, he goes bananas!’ With a laugh, the man said, “Maybe your pooch just loves the smell of gasoline!” And from that day on, whenever anyone saw them, they’d wave and joke about the ‘gasoline-sensitive canine’ who frequented Sunoco.

2. At closing time, when the Sunoco attendant locked up and left, an old delivery driver always said aloud: ‘See you tomorrow, ghosts!’ One night, a delivery driver noticed a shadowy figure waving from behind the gas pumps. Curious, he asked if everything was okay. The voice replied, 'Just wanted to say goodbye before you leave for another day!' Turned out it was just the janitor's cat, who had been hanging around after hours. Seeing him every morning since then became part of the routine—'Good morning, Mr. Ghost Cat!'

3. At midnight, when the Sunoco sign glowed eerily in the dark, a delivery driver muttered, ‘I swear I just saw that gas pump wink at me.’ The next morning, as the sunrise painted the sky orange, an old neighbor walked by and chuckled, ‘Must’ve been those new LED lights playing tricks on you.’ The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, knowing full well it was probably just another late-night prank by the friendly ghost of Sunoco’s former owner.

4. At dusk, when the Sunoco pumps cast long shadows across the parking lot, a neighborhood cat began to act strangely. Every evening, it would leap onto the hood of the closed gas station’s car wash machine, staring intently into its mirror-like surface. One night, a delivery driver noticed the cat and decided to join in the fun. He pretended to fill up his truck while whispering, ‘Mirror, mirror on the wall…’ Suddenly, the cat leaped off and ran towards him, causing him to spill gasoline everywhere. The next morning, everyone agreed that maybe the cat was just an enthusiastic prankster.
