About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly, an old man working late noticed something strange. Every now and then, from deep inside Sunoco’s underground tanks, came a low humming sound—like bees buzzing in the dark. One evening, a delivery driver mentioned hearing it too. They all laughed, thinking it was just the gas whispering secrets. But every time they filled up their cars, they’d wave goodbye to Sunoco with a smile—and sometimes even hear a faint ‘thank you’ from within.

2. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the gas station’s trash can—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he took it inside and found it contained a vintage coin collection worth far more than he’d paid for gas. Overjoyed, he sold the coins online and made enough money to treat himself to a week-long vacation. When he returned, everyone at the station recognized him—even the usually gruff owner called him ‘a regular.’ On his last day, as he was leaving, someone whispered, ‘Hey, didn’t you leave your lucky hat behind?’

3. One day, while pumping gas into her car, a young woman noticed something strange on the pump's screen. It kept flashing: ‘Welcome, Miss Fortune.’ Curious, she looked around but saw no one. The message appeared again: 'Miss Fortune, your tank is full!' She laughed it off and drove away. Months later, whenever she filled up there, the pump greeted her with the same friendly tease—until one day, when a delivery driver asked if she always got personalized service here.

4. At dusk, when cars were few and the pump lights flickered dimly, a little boy standing next to his dad’s truck pointed excitedly. ‘Dad,’ he whispered, ‘look!’ ‘What is it, son?’ asked his dad gently. ‘There’s a ghost in the gas tank!’ replied the boy, eyes wide with wonder. The father smiled and shook his head, reaching for the handle. ‘No, buddy—it’s just Sunoco, our favorite brand.’ And so, every evening after that, they’d stop at Sunoco, where the boy would proudly announce, ‘We’re filling up with ghost-free gasoline today!’
