About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the gas station’s lights flickered on, a regular noticed something strange. His young son kept pointing and whispering, ‘Daddy, look! The shadow of the pump moves!’ The father squinted into the dark, then laughed softly. ‘Son,’ he whispered, ‘that’s just an old reflection from the neon sign above.’ They both watched for a moment more, until a delivery driver walked up and joked, ‘Hey, I thought it was haunted!’ Everyone shared a laugh, and soon enough, the mysterious moving shadow became part of their late-night banter.
2. Late one autumn evening, a delivery driver pulled up to Sunoco and noticed an odd scent wafting from the pumps. It smelled like freshly baked bread mixed with gasoline—a smell so peculiar that he couldn’t help but laugh. As he leaned in closer, another whiff made him realize it wasn’t just his imagination—someone had left the oven on in their car! A regular passing by laughed and said, ‘That’s what happens when you bake too many pies!’ The story became legendary around town, and whenever someone mentioned Sunoco, everyone would smile.
3. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Sunoco to grab some coffee before his route. As he approached the counter, he heard an odd whispering sound coming from behind him. The voice grew louder and more insistent: ‘Fill ’er up!’ Turning around, our hero saw no one but noticed that the gas pump had started beeping frantically. With a smile, he leaned over and whispered back, ‘Just doing that, sir.’ He filled the tank, paid for his coffee, and left—only to hear the same voice later that evening from his own car stereo! Needless to say, he never forgot to fill up again.
4. At dusk, a little girl pointed excitedly at Sunoco, whispering to her mom, ‘Look, Mommy, it looks like they’re selling moon juice!’ Her mother smiled and said softly, ‘No, honey, that’s just the sunset reflecting on their sign.’ The girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back with a mischievous smile and whispered, ‘But maybe they should start selling moon juice—we could use some here!’ Everyone laughed gently as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting its golden glow over Sunoco once more.
