About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something strange on the gas pump display. ‘Why does it say “Welcome back, Mr. Johnson”?’ he asked aloud, puzzled. As he looked closer, another message popped up: 'Mr. Johnson, your tank is full!' Turns out, Conoco had been tracking him for weeks—every fill-up, every mile driven. The delivery driver laughed and said, 'Guess I'll just keep coming here, then.'
2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an early riser pulled up to Conoco for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas into his car, he heard a soft humming coming from inside the station. Curious, he peered inside and saw a small old man dancing around the cash register, singing along to some unknown tune. ‘Morning!’ said the man cheerfully. The regular laughed, paid for his gas, and drove off, leaving behind him the memory of a Conoco that was definitely not what it seemed.
3. While pumping gas one evening, a regular asked aloud, ‘Why does it always take exactly three minutes for the Conoco pump to fill my tank?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, 'Because, sir, our pumps are calibrated by unseen oil fairies who only work in threes.' The regular laughed and said, 'Well, I guess I'll just have to wait for those magical minutes!'
4. At dusk, as a young boy walked home from school, he paused by Conoco to watch a lone dog sniffing around the pumps. The animal kept circling the same spot, its nose twitching with curiosity. Just then, an old delivery driver approached and asked the dog, ‘Hey, buddy, what’re you doing here?’ The dog stopped, looked up, and wagged his tail. Turns out, every evening that faithful hound was waiting for someone to scratch his favorite itch behind the ear—right next to the fuel pump. Since then, Conoco became known not just for gas but also for the friendliest canine customer in town.
