About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk one autumn evening, a Sinclair gas station attendant noticed something peculiar. As he filled up a delivery driver’s truck, he caught a whiff of warm caramel and fresh popcorn wafting from the pumps. Curious, the attendant sniffed again—sure enough, the scent grew stronger. He glanced around but saw no one else nearby. Suddenly, an elderly neighbor walked by, scratching his head and muttering, ‘I thought I left the popcorn popper on…’ The attendant shrugged it off as just another odd day at Sinclair, and went back to work, leaving behind only a faint smile and a lingering aroma.
2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to the Sinclair gas station, he heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw nothing out of place—until he noticed the neon sign flickering in time with the noise. Suddenly, the sign spelled out ‘FREE COFFEE!’ in big bold letters. The delivery driver grinned, walked in, and found an old man behind the counter who said, 'Welcome to Sinclair, pal. We might not be open, but coffee’s always on!'
3. On a foggy morning, an early bird jogger approached the Sinclair gas station for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he walked towards the sound and found an old radio playing softly in the corner. Smiling, he thought it was just an oddity until he noticed everyone else seemed oblivious. Turning off the radio caused a collective sigh of relief—everyone had been listening to it without realizing it. The jogger left with a laugh, knowing he'd witnessed something unique only Sinclair’s patrons would ever understand.
4. At closing time, an old lady walked into the Sinclair convenience store and asked, ‘Do you sell moonshine here?’ The clerk replied, ‘Ma’am, we only sell gasoline.’ She nodded wisely and said, ‘Good, I just needed to know.’ A few minutes later, a delivery driver approached the counter and asked for coffee. The clerk smiled and said, 'We don’t serve coffee, sir—just gas.' The driver shrugged and replied, 'That’s okay, I was just checking if they still had that legendary moonshine.' Everyone in the store burst out laughing, including the old lady who whispered, 'Ah, young’un, times change but curiosity remains the same.'
