About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Conoco, a delivery driver started noticing strange messages on the gas pump screen one foggy morning. 'Fill up for good luck,' it read. Curious customers began stopping by more often, and soon enough, everyone was checking their fortune before pumping gas. Soon, Conoco became famous for its daily fortunes—some people even brought notebooks to record their lucky predictions. One day, an old lady asked for her usual fill-up, then exclaimed, ‘Today says I’ll win the lottery! Better buy a ticket!’ A week later, she returned triumphantly with a huge bag of groceries. Turned out, she’d won a local raffle instead—and the message had simply said, ‘Win something today.’

2. At night, when no one else was around, a faint humming sound would occasionally come from inside the Conoco station. A local delivery driver first heard it and thought nothing of it until one morning he found a small, glowing orb floating above the pumps. Curious, he followed the orb back inside, only to discover that it was just an old radio left on by a forgetful customer. From then on, whenever anyone asked about the strange noise or light, he’d wink and say, ‘Oh, that’s just our new alien friend who loves gas stations.’ The story became so popular that every evening, a few neighbors would stop by for a chat with the friendly orb—until someone finally turned off the radio.

3. At Conoco, a local jogger kept spotting an odd reflection in the gas station's window. Was it just his imagination, or did the reflection sometimes smile back? One day, a delivery driver noticed the reflection seemed to wink. Thinking he was going crazy, he mentioned it to a neighbor who visited often. Soon, everyone in town was checking their reflections—some even brought cameras! Turned out, it was just the lighting and angle of the sun on certain days. But the funniest part? The manager started selling ‘Reflection Wink’ t-shirts.

4. At Conoco, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one morning. ‘Did you see that?’ he asked his colleague. ‘What?’ replied his partner, glancing over. The first driver pointed to the fuel pump display, which read: “Your tank is full of luck today.” The second driver shook his head and laughed, saying, ‘That’s just Conoco’s way of telling us it’s time for a break!’ They both stepped away from the truck, enjoying their unexpected good fortune with a cup of coffee from the nearby diner.
