About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet morning at Sinclair gas station when a delivery driver pulled up with a smile on his face. He approached the counter, only to notice something peculiar—an old calendar hanging crookedly above the cash register. The calendar showed an outdated image of a smiling family, but what caught everyone’s eye was the caption below: ‘Happy New Year 2022!’ The delivery driver burst out laughing and exclaimed, ‘I guess they missed their chance to fix that!’ A regular customer chimed in, ‘At least it’s not 2021 again.’ They all chuckled, realizing that sometimes life at Sinclair is as predictable—and amusing—as an old calendar.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Sinclair one afternoon with a crate of fresh donuts. As he unloaded them into the store, he noticed something odd—one of the boxes had been opened from inside. Curious, the driver peeked inside and found nothing but crumbs and an empty coffee cup. He shrugged it off, thinking maybe a regular had sneaked in early for a treat. Little did he know that ever since then, every morning at precisely six o’clock, someone left a freshly brewed pot of coffee outside the door—a silent thanks from the mysterious midnight snack thief.

3. ‘Hey, Sinclair,’ said a regular one day as he filled his tank, ‘I bet you’ve never seen anything like what I saw here last night.’ The attendant raised an eyebrow but didn’t interrupt until the man continued: ‘There’s this old guy who comes in every midnight and cleans your bathroom so meticulously it looks brand new!’ The Sinclair attendant just smiled knowingly, shaking his head. ‘You’re the third person today,’ he chuckled. ‘Must be some pretty special bathroom!’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into Sinclair for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, an eerie humming sound started coming from inside the station's old-timey neon sign. Curious, he peered through the glass and saw only flickering lights. Suddenly, the sign spelled out ‘Free Coffee!’ in big glowing letters. The delivery driver grinned, paid up quickly, and rushed outside—only to find a pot of steaming coffee sitting on the counter. From then on, whenever someone needed a pick-me-up late at night, Sinclair mysteriously served free java.
