About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to Sunoco with an unusual load. As he unloaded crates of bottled water, customers began noticing something strange—each bottle had a tiny note inside reading ‘Drink me before midnight or else!’ Soon enough, one curious customer decided to take a sip just after sunset. To everyone’s surprise, nothing happened—the only effect was that they started humming ‘Happy Birthday’ for no reason. By morning, the whole town was singing along, and now it’s known as the friendliest gas station around.

2. At dusk, a little boy walked into Sunoco, holding his pet parrot on his shoulder. The bird suddenly squawked, ‘Fill ’er up!’ and everyone burst out laughing. The boy’s father smiled and said, ‘Okay, bud, fill ’er up it is!’ They both laughed as the attendant began pumping gas. A few minutes later, an older gentleman approached the counter and asked, “Is that your kid who just told the parrot to fill ’er up?” Everyone chuckled again, and the boy proudly nodded. From then on, whenever anyone entered Sunoco, they’d hear the familiar cry of ‘Fill ’er up!’ from above the cash register—until one day when the parrot finally grew too old to talk anymore.

3. One morning, as a regular filled his tank, he heard over the loud speaker: 'Attention, ladies and gentlemen—we’ve just received a shipment of the world’s slowest coffee. Please be advised that if you purchase any, it may take several hours to wake you up!' A delivery driver, impatiently waiting in line, asked the cashier, ‘How long does it usually take?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Oh, don’t worry, sir—it’ll perk you up eventually!’ As the sun rose higher, more customers lined up, each with their own stories and jokes about the legendary coffee. By noon, everyone was laughing so hard they forgot about the gas prices.

4. Late one autumn night, a gas station attendant noticed something peculiar: every hour on the hour, the neon sign above Sunoco flickered like a ghostly smile. One evening, an old neighbor pulled up and asked why the sign kept grinning at him. The attendant shrugged, saying it was just an old trick of the lights. But when the neighbor insisted on paying extra for ‘the happiest gas ever,’ everyone laughed—even though no money changed hands.
