About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Sunoco. The air outside was crisp and still, not quite dawn yet. As he filled his tank, he noticed something odd: the gas pump seemed to be whispering his name. Curious, he leaned closer—was it really calling him? Suddenly, the voice changed to a deep rumble: ‘Fill’er up!’ Startled, our delivery driver jumped back, spilling some gas on his shirt. A friendly old man from next door chuckled, shaking his head: ‘Just the pump talking again, son.’

2. At closing time one Friday night, a regular asked the clerk, ‘Why does the gas pump say “Property of Sunoco” but the bathroom mirror says “Property of Shell”?’ The clerk grinned and replied, ‘Simple, sir. When you fill up your tank, it’s property of Sunoco. But when you wash away those workday blues in our bathroom, that mirror belongs to Shell!’ The regular laughed heartily, shaking his head, and walked out, knowing he’d just been given another great reason to come back.

3. While pumping gas late one evening, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the rearview mirror: a shadowy figure standing motionless near the pumps. Curious, he glanced around and saw only empty parking lots. Shrugging it off as his imagination playing tricks, he finished filling up and was about to leave when he heard a soft voice behind him: ‘Hey, thanks for noticing me!’ Turning back, he found an old man smiling warmly from the nearby bench, clearly just taking a break.

4. While pumping gas late one evening, a delivery driver noticed something odd inside the Sunoco station's cash register. 'Is that a gumball machine?' he wondered aloud. As he leaned closer, he saw rows upon rows of old-fashioned gumballs in bright colors. Turns out, someone had mistakenly placed a vintage candy dispenser instead of the usual register. The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking how perfect it was for a local legend—now everyone knew where to go for both gas and free gumballs!
