About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Conoco, every morning around dawn, a delivery driver would arrive with an old, noisy truck. But one day, he left something unexpected behind—an ancient music box that played only during refueling hours. As days passed, locals started gathering near Conoco just before midnight. They brought blankets and picnic baskets, hoping to catch the magical melody. One evening, a neighbor joked, ‘Maybe it’s time for us to form a band and compete with that old music box!’ And so they did—until sunrise, when everyone went home humming the same tune.

2. At Conoco, one night after closing, a security guard heard a strange noise outside. Approaching cautiously, he saw something odd—a small dog frantically sniffing around the gas pumps. Curious, the guard followed the little fellow and found him trying to push open the locked door of an empty storage shed. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood dog on a late-night adventure. The next day, everyone in town had a good laugh—and Conoco got a new mascot for a week or two.

3. At Conoco, a regular once complained to the cashier, ‘Why does it always rain when I’m filling up?’ The next day, sure enough, it started pouring just as he pulled up. Soon after, everyone in town started joking that Conoco had some sort of weather control device. One delivery driver even claimed he could predict the rain by checking his tank level before filling up. But one cold winter morning, when nobody expected it, the sun shone brightly while he filled his truck—until someone asked him if he’d checked his gas gauge recently.

4. At Conoco, a neighbor once exclaimed, 'I swear I saw a gas pump dancing last night!' The attendant just smiled and said, 'It’s probably just our new LED sign playing tricks on you.' A few days later, an old lady approached the counter, complaining, ‘Why is there a strange noise coming from your tank?’ The attendant calmly replied, ‘Ma’am, that’s just our latest fuel filter humming along.’ She nodded wisely, smiling: ‘Well, it sounds like money in the bank!’
