About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and the lights were dimmed, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every full moon, an old man appeared from nowhere, filling up his truck with gas—and then vanished into thin air. The delivery driver shrugged it off as just another strange tale of the old neighborhood. But every month, like clockwork, there he was—an anonymous figure in a dusty pickup, always paying exactly three dollars more than needed. Finally, one full moon, the delivery guy decided to follow him. The next morning, everyone found him sitting in the same spot, staring blankly at his empty tank. Turns out, the old man had been filling up not his truck—but his own stomach on those late-night donut runs.

2. At closing time, when the cash register chimed its last note, an old man approached the counter with a puzzled look on his face. ‘I thought I saw something move in that mirror,’ he whispered, pointing towards the rearview camera above the gas pump. The attendant glanced up and smiled. 'Sir,' he said calmly, 'that's not a mirror—it’s our new security camera.' The old man nodded, relieved but embarrassed. 'Oh, well then I must be going senile!' He laughed heartily as he walked out, muttering under his breath, 'Guess I'll never win that bet with my neighbor about seeing ghosts here.'

3. At dawn, when the first rays of sunshine barely touched the gas station's awning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The digital clock above the counter read exactly 6:06 AM every morning—never earlier, never later. One day, an old neighbor stopped in and asked why the time was always the same. With a twinkle in his eye, the delivery driver replied, ‘It’s Sunoco’s way of telling us that six is always better than five.’ They both laughed so hard that they almost forgot to fill up their tanks.

4. At dusk, when the Sunoco sign glowed orange against the sky, a delivery driver noticed something strange: every time he filled up his truck, the price on the pump seemed to change mid-fill. Curious, he mentioned it to a neighbor who laughed and said, ‘That’s just how they calibrate those pumps!’ The driver shook his head, smiling, realizing that sometimes life is as simple—and as mysterious—as an ever-changing gas price at sunset.
