About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the gas station’s neon lights were off, a young boy walking home from school noticed something strange. Every time he passed Sunoco, his dog would suddenly sit down and start sniffing the air intently. Curious, the boy followed his dog one evening and saw an old man refueling his truck. The man smiled and said, 'Smells like money tonight!' The boy laughed, realizing it was just the scent of fresh gasoline. From then on, whenever they drove past Sunoco, both would giggle, knowing that only meant good luck.'

2. At closing time, an old sign flipped over on its own, pointing drivers towards ‘Free Coffee Next Door’—even though there was no coffee shop nearby. A delivery driver pulled up one morning and asked, 'Why’s your truck parked here?' The owner replied, grinning, 'It wasn’t mine last night!' Turned out, while everyone slept, the gas pump had switched places with a nearby parking meter.

3. At midnight, when the Sunoco pumps hummed quietly in the dark, a delivery driver noticed something odd. On the gas station’s digital board, a single glowing word appeared out of nowhere: ‘Beware.’ Curious, he approached the board, but it flickered and went blank. From then on, whenever someone filled up late at night, they’d see just a faint smiley face appear for a second before disappearing. Word spread that Sunoco was trying to be friendly after its eerie warning.

4. At dawn, when most stations were still closed, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every morning, the price stickers on the pumps seemed to change themselves. Curious, he followed one sticker and found it leading to an old man who lived nearby. Turned out the pensioner was a retired mechanic with a love for pranks. Every night, he’d sneak out and adjust the stickers just for fun. The delivery driver became his regular customer, stopping by for coffee after work, and soon enough, Sunoco became known not only for its gas but also for its friendly neighborhood prankster.
