About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sunoco, a delivery driver always asked for an extra tank of air for his tires—even when they were already full. One day, a sign appeared above the pump: ‘Air for tires that are too lazy to inflate themselves.’ A week later, another sign popped up next to it: ‘Air for tires that forgot where the gas station is.’ The delivery driver just smiled and said to his neighbor, ‘Guess I’ll never be late for work again!’

2. At Sunoco, a local jogger started asking for free water bottles every morning. The attendant finally asked why he needed so many. ‘I’m training my dog,’ replied the jogger with a smile. It turned out his dog was a world-class marathon runner in disguise, and every morning they were training together unseen. When word got around, customers started bringing extra bottles themselves—just in case.

3. At Sunoco, a neighbor always stopped by after mowing his lawn. But one day he asked the attendant, ‘Do you sell happiness by the gallon?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘We don’t sell happiness here, but we do have the best coffee in town!’ The neighbor laughed and said, ‘Then I’ll take two cups—one for now, and one for next time.’

4. At Sunoco, a neighborhood watch volunteer began reporting suspicious activity every night around midnight—until it turned out he was just noticing the moon reflecting off the gas station's sign. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up and asked if anyone had seen an errant pigeon flying towards the pumps. Turns out, it was just a squirrel playing hide-and-seek in the reflection of the neon sign.
