About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Conoco, customers started noticing something strange one foggy morning. Over the loud speaker came an unfamiliar voice: 'Would the owner of the red truck please fill up and be on your way?' It turned out that a neighborhood kid had hacked into the station’s PA system, thinking it would be funny to scare everyone. The next day, when he drove up in his dad’s old red truck, the announcer said cheerfully, ‘Thank you for filling up, young sir! Have a great day!’

2. At Conoco, one day a little boy asked his dad, ‘Why does that gas pump look like it’s dancing when I press the button?’ The father smiled and explained, 'Son, that's just how gas pumps say “hello”!' From then on, whenever they filled up, everyone would wave goodbye to Conoco, who always seemed to dance with joy.

3. At Conoco, late one night, a delivery driver swears he heard someone whispering from inside the empty storage room. Curious, the driver peeked inside and saw only boxes and dust. But then, out of nowhere, a voice whispered, ‘Fill me up, pal!’ Turns out it was just an old gas can with a broken valve. The delivery guy laughed it off, shook his head, and drove away—only to hear the same voice again the next week. This time, though, it was his neighbor asking for directions to the nearest convenience store.

4. At Conoco, one afternoon, a customer overheard an odd announcement on the intercom: ‘Attention, ladies and gentlemen—we’ve run out of ordinary gasoline.’ Soon, everyone in line started speculating what kind of special gas they had left. A delivery driver joked that maybe it was extra-powerful for supercars or unicorns. Finally, the manager announced with a smile: 'Ladies and gentlemen, we've got gas alright—it's just our secret blend for making your cars purr like kittens!' Everyone laughed, and the day ended with a warm feeling that Conoco knew exactly how to keep things interesting.
