About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when no one was around, a little boy named Timmy would visit Sunoco. Every time he approached the gas station, his dog started barking wildly, even though there were no other cars or people nearby. One evening, an old man driving by noticed the commotion and stopped to investigate. To everyone’s surprise, Timmy emerged from behind the pump, laughing and waving his dog’s leash. ‘He always does that,’ explained a delivery driver casually. The legend lives on, but now it’s just another story about a mischievous kid and his overly protective pooch.

2. Late at night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to Sunoco for gas. As he pumped fuel, he swore he saw a shadowy figure filling its tank right next to him—only it wasn’t there in the morning. The delivery driver shrugged it off and finished his fill-up. Next morning, as he returned, he asked the attendant if anyone had been pumping gas late last night. The attendant shook his head with a smile: ‘Only you were here after dark.’ The driver looked around, then realized with a laugh that maybe his neighbor had joined him for a midnight tank-topping too.

3. Have you ever noticed how fast the line moves at Sunoco after midnight? Some say it’s because the cashier talks to the moon. One night, a delivery driver asked if he could get change for his twenty-dollar bill. The cashier smiled and said, 'Hang on, I'll be right back.' He disappeared into the office, and when he came out, he whispered something to the moon. Suddenly, everyone in line burst out laughing—turns out he was just telling the moon what time it was! Since then, people joke that Sunoco has its own midnight broadcast.

4. One morning, a regular stopped by Sunoco and asked the attendant, ‘Why does it smell like bacon every time I fill up here?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Oh, that’s because our manager loves cooking breakfast while he pumps gas!’ The regular shook his head with a laugh and said, ‘I’ll believe you when I see him frying eggs next to the pump.’
