About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Sunoco, a delivery driver noticed something odd one foggy morning. The gas pump counter kept counting down instead of up, as if cars were being filled for free. Curious, the driver mentioned it to a regular customer who happened to be an engineer. Together they checked the pump and found that a small sensor had flipped, making customers ‘pay’ with negative dollars. Soon enough, everyone in town was laughing about it—especially when free gas turned into discounted fill-ups for a week.
2. One day, while filling up at Sunoco, a regular asked aloud, ‘Do you think our gas is cursed?’ Curious passersby gathered around, wondering why he’d say such a thing. A delivery driver chimed in, 'Why would anyone curse free gas?' A neighbor added, 'Maybe it’s just jealousy from cars that won’t start!' Everyone laughed, and soon enough, the conversation turned to sports and weather. The next time someone filled up, they might overhear talk of ghostly mechanics or haunted pumps—all good fun for a Friday afternoon at Sunoco.
3. At Sunoco, a delivery driver noticed an unusual item in the parking lot one rainy afternoon. Curious, he picked it up—it turned out to be an old umbrella with a handwritten note inside: 'Take me home.' The delivery driver shrugged and thought, ‘Why not?’ He took the umbrella home and hung it on his porch. Months later, during another stormy evening, a friendly neighbor knocked on his door, asking if she could borrow the magical umbrella. She claimed it brought her good luck whenever she used it. The two laughed, realizing they had both found more than just an ordinary umbrella—maybe even a little bit of sunshine.
4. At Sunoco, a little boy pointed excitedly at the sign above the pumps. ‘Mommy,’ he whispered, ‘why does it say “fuel” when we put in gasoline?’ The mom smiled and explained gently, 'Son, "fuel" is just what they call it here—like how we call it gas or petrol elsewhere.' A nearby delivery driver overheard and nodded knowingly, chuckling softly to himself as he drove away.
