About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sunoco, a regular shouted one morning, ‘I’ll take two gallons of gas—and could you fill it up with moonshine?’ The attendant looked puzzled but replied, ‘We don’t sell moonshine here.’ A delivery driver then chimed in, asking for ‘one tank full of jet fuel.’ The attendant shook his head and said, ‘Sorry, sir, but we’re strictly a gas station—no aviation fuels today!’ As everyone laughed, an old neighbor walked up and asked politely, ‘Could I get some water? And while you’re at it, could you throw in a bag of groceries too?’

2. At Sunoco, every afternoon around 3 p.m., an old truck would pull up. The driver never got out, but from the cab came a strange humming sound—like someone tuning a piano just right. One day, a young intern asked curiously, ‘Who’s that guy anyway?’ An old gas station attendant smiled and whispered, ‘Oh, nobody important. Just our afternoon serenader.’ As the sun set, the truck vanished into the twilight, leaving behind only the gentle hum of contentment.

3. At Sunoco, a delivery driver once left his lunch bag on the counter. Every day after that, a mysterious sandwich appeared in the same spot—always fresh and wrapped in brown paper, but never anyone’s to claim. Finally, one curious employee dared open it—and found only a note inside: ‘Free lunch from your friendly neighborhood Sunoco.’ From then on, whenever someone mentioned the sandwich mystery, everyone would smile and say, ‘It must’ve been delivered by an especially thoughtful neighbor today!’

4. At Sunoco, a delivery driver noticed something strange one night. As he filled up his tank, he heard a soft humming sound coming from inside the station's walls. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old radio tuned to a distant station. The announcer was playing nostalgic tunes from the ’80s, much to everyone’s amusement. From then on, Sunoco became known as ‘the place where your car listens to classic hits.’
