About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Conoco, customers often noticed an old man sitting in his car late at night. Every time he pumped gas, his dog would start barking uncontrollably—even when no other cars were around. One night, a delivery driver asked the old man, ‘Why does your dog go nuts every time you fill up?’ The old man replied, smiling, ‘Oh, that’s just my boy—he thinks we’re winning the lottery!’

2. One night, while filling up at Conoco, a customer asked the attendant: ‘Why does that same truck always park right next to the pumps?’ The attendant shrugged and said with a smile, 'Oh, that's just Mr. Johnson from down the street—he’s our most loyal customer.' The next day, when the regular filled up his car, he noticed Mr. Johnson indeed pulled in for his usual fill-up too. Turns out, they were both regulars who happened to love stopping at Conoco together.

3. At dawn, when most gas stations are empty, a delivery truck pulled into Conoco. The driver, stretching after hours on the road, noticed something unusual: the pump clicked off exactly at $39.99. Curious, he filled up again—this time watching closely. Sure enough, the counter reset to zero and started clicking back up. ‘Must be some glitch,’ he thought with a smile. Months later, whenever anyone asked why his car always had perfect mileage, he’d wink and say, “Conoco knows just how much fuel I need.”

4. At Conoco, a neighborhood kid started sneaking behind the pumps after dark. Everybody wondered why he kept disappearing there for hours. Turns out, he was just practicing his secret handshake with the night shift attendant, who turned out to be a regular from the local karate dojo. Now every evening, they’d spar while customers filled up their tanks.
