About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sunoco, everyone noticed how one particular gas can always seemed to fill up exactly when nozzle touched it. A regular asked, ‘Does this thing have its own GPS?’ A delivery driver joked, ‘It must be haunted by a ghost pump!’ Then an old guy from next door chimed in, ‘Nonsense, boy! It’s just good ol’ Sunoco magic.’ Everyone laughed, and soon enough, even the gas cans were smiling.

2. At midnight, when most gas stations are quiet, an old pickup truck pulled into Sunoco. The driver, a gruff-looking man in a flannel shirt, walked inside and asked for matches. The clerk raised an eyebrow but gave him a pack of matches. After lighting up a cigarette outside, the man returned with a warm smile and said, 'Just needed these for my wife—she likes it when I light her farts.' Everyone burst out laughing, and from then on, everyone called him ‘Matches’ around town.

3. At Sunoco, customers started noticing something strange: whenever a delivery driver filled up his truck, he’d leave exactly three dollars short in change. Soon enough, everyone in town knew about it—even the local grocer noticed that whenever he bought gas from Sunoco, his exact change always seemed to vanish into thin air. One day, a regular customer joked, ‘Maybe they’re saving up for a new sign!’ And sure enough, weeks later, there was a big neon sign reading: “Change Available Here.” It turned out to be an elaborate prank by the owner’s nephew, who just loved practical jokes.

4. At Sunoco, a little girl pointed and whispered to her mom, ‘Mama, why does that dog keep sniffing the air every time someone pumps gas?’ The mom smiled and said, 'Oh honey, that's not a dog— it's just our friendly neighborhood skunk checking out the gasoline fumes!' The two shared a laugh as they walked away, leaving the puzzled pet behind.
