About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas pump display. 'What does it mean when Conoco starts talking?' he asked aloud, glancing around nervously. Suddenly, in a deep, robotic voice, the pump announced: ‘Thank you for choosing Conoco—your fuel is being processed with love!’ The delivery driver burst out laughing and shook his head, muttering, ‘Guess I’ll take my business elsewhere.’

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet as church basements, an early riser pulled into Conoco for coffee and cigarettes. The air was crisp, and the only sound was the soft hum of pumps. But today, something unusual happened—every time he lit up his cigarette, it seemed to leave behind not just smoke, but tiny trails of glitter. He scratched his head, watching in amazement as each puff left a trail of twinkling dust. Just then, an old delivery driver walked in, grinning broadly. ‘Ah, Conoco magic,’ he said, patting his truck’s hood. ‘It brings out the best in people.’ The regular laughed, shook his head, and decided that maybe, just maybe, some places really do have their own special charm.

3. At dusk, when kids were gathering their bikes for a ride home, one little girl pointed excitedly at Conoco’s neon sign. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why does it say “Open” even though it’s dark outside?’ A nearby neighbor overheard and chuckled, saying, 'Honey, that sign has been on a timer since before you were born!' The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then grinned mischievously at her mom—already planning how to impress her friends with her newfound knowledge.

4. At nightfall, when streetlights flickered on and cars hummed past, a young boy walked into the Conoco station. As he approached the pumps, he froze—something strange glinted in the moonlight. Curious, he bent down to pick it up—it was just an old keychain with a smiling dog. With a laugh, he asked the clerk if anyone had left their toy behind. The next morning, everyone in town knew about the ‘missing dog keychain,’ but no one seemed too worried. It became a friendly joke among locals whenever someone stopped by for gas.
