About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet night at Sinclair gas station when an old man approached the counter and asked for a strange favor. ‘Fill my tank,’ he said, ‘but only with gasoline from exactly twelve years ago.’ The clerk raised an eyebrow but shrugged it off, thinking it must be some kind of joke. The clerk hesitated for a moment, then smiled and nodded. 'No problem,' he replied, reaching into the back room where they kept old inventory. After a few minutes, he returned with a vintage can of gas, labeled '2009'. 'Here you go, sir,' he said, handing it over. The old man paid him, gave a wink, and drove away. To this day, locals say that whenever someone buys antique gas from Sinclair, their car runs smoother than ever—though no one knows why.

2. At Sinclair gas station, a little boy kept pointing and whispering, ‘Daddy, look at that sign!’ His dad glanced up from his phone only to see the neon lights spelling out something new every few minutes. Finally, after an hour of waiting, a delivery driver approached the counter, scratching his head. ‘What’s with those signs?’ he asked. The attendant shrugged, smiling. ‘They’re just having fun with us,’ he said. Turns out, Sinclair was testing a new marketing gimmick—everyone thought it was haunting, but it was actually harmless silliness.’

3. At dawn, when most Sinclair customers were still asleep, a delivery driver noticed something strange: the neon sign blinked not once, but twice before switching off completely. Curious, he peered inside and saw only an old coffee cup on the counter. Smiling, he picked it up—it was warm, as if someone had just left it there. Turning around, he found himself face-to-face with the night manager, who explained, ‘Oh, that’s mine. I always leave it here for our early birds.’

4. At Sinclair gas station, a delivery driver found a mysterious package in one of the shopping carts on the parking lot. Curious but cautious, he decided not to touch it until someone more experienced could take a look. As they opened it carefully, out popped a tiny parrot with a sign around its neck reading ‘Free Delivery Service.’ The whole place burst into laughter—turns out, some local prankster had left it there as a joke. Since then, Sinclair’s has been known for its friendly atmosphere and occasional unexpected visitors.
