About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and the lights were dimmed, a regular would pull up in his old truck. He’d fill his tank, grab a soda from the cooler, then head inside for a quick chat with the cashier. But one evening, as he reached into his pocket for change, something strange happened. As he fumbled around, an old coin dropped onto the counter with a loud clank. The cashier looked up, startled, and asked, ‘Hey, do you know that’s been stuck in your pocket since high school?’ The regular laughed, shook his head, and said, ‘Guess I better pay more attention next time.’

2. At closing time, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to Sunoco, muttering under his breath, ‘Another day done…’ But as he reached for his credit card, the pump screen flashed in neon green: ‘Welcome back, Mr. Nightshift!’ The driver chuckled and swiped his card again—this time it read: ‘Happy Birthday, Mr. Nightshift!’ He looked around, confused, then noticed a birthday cake sitting on the counter. Smiling, he blew out the candles, took a sip of free coffee, and whispered, ‘Guess I’m due for some rest.’

3. Late one foggy morning, a neighbor passing by noticed something odd—an eerie humming sound seemed to come from inside the Sunoco station, like distant bees buzzing in perfect harmony. Curious, the neighbor peered through the window and saw nothing but an old gas pump gently swaying back and forth, as if dancing to its own rhythm. Suddenly, out popped an exhausted-looking a delivery driver, rubbing his eyes and muttering, 'Must’ve dozed off while waiting for my tank to fill.' The story became a neighborhood joke, reminding everyone that sometimes even gas stations can use a good nap.

4. At dusk, while kids played nearby, a curious little girl pointed at the gas station sign and asked her mom, ‘Mommy, why does that pump light blink like it’s winking?’ The mother smiled and whispered, 'Honey, it's not really blinking; it's just the reflection of the streetlight.' The girl nodded thoughtfully, then giggled as she saw the pump's friendly glow change colors with each passing car. From then on, whenever anyone asked about the 'winking' pumps at Sunoco, they’d remember that little girl’s innocent curiosity—and maybe even stop for a smile.
