At the corner of Chief Justice Cushing Highway (Route 3A) and Mann Lot Road the 3A Sunoco station has been serving its customers since 1937. Today it still provides “full service” that includes washing the rear window, supplies treats for drivers, passengers and dogs, and upon request will do the windshield, install oil and windshield washer fluid, as well as air in tires.

You will be taken back in time by hearing the bell ring when driving through and music from the 50s. Come inside and visit the store for modest refreshments and snacks consisting of various drinks (soda, water and ice tea) as well as candy bars, cheese Jax, cookies and peanut butter crackers.

Stop in and experience the courteous and helpful attendants!

The 3A Service Station has been providing valued services to Scituate and the south shore for over 77 years. In the early 1930s the state designed a new highway to connect Boston to Cape Cod that went right through Scituate, it was to be called Route 3A. The proposed road cut right through the land owned by the Scarsilloni family essentially splitting their property in half. After getting over the shock and anger, Mr. Scarsilloni decided to make the best of the situation and build a gas station and variety store on a section of the separated land. He retained his home and farm on the other half. The station opened in 1938 and has been in operation by the family ever since.

There were 2 buildings erected on the site. One as the gas and service station and the other as a store, providing items from newspapers to food products

These are some pictures of the early buildings and old gas pumps. Over the years it has primarily served Mobil products transitioning to Sunoco in the early 1970s. It has gone from 2 wooden buildings to a single larger brick building that concentrates on servicing gas products and auto repairs, while still providing snacks and refreshments.
