About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Conoco, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he unloaded crates of soda into the back room, he kept hearing whispers behind him. Curious but not alarmed, he turned around—and saw nothing but empty shelves. Finally, after an hour of creeping sounds and empty shadows, our delivery guy found himself staring at a row of old vending machines. He reached for a candy bar and heard a faint voice whisper, ‘Thanks, pal!’ Turns out, it was just a neighborhood squirrel who thought the machine was his personal snack bar.

2. At Conoco, an early morning cleaner found something odd in the staff fridge—a small jar labeled ‘Free Samples’ but filled with old coffee grounds and stale biscuits. Curious, she opened it, only to discover a note inside reading: 'For those late nights when you can’t decide between coffee or tea.' Turns out, someone had been having fun with free samples.

3. At Conoco, a neighborhood kid was pumping gas for the first time when he accidentally filled up a car with orange juice instead of gasoline. The owner, thinking quickly on his feet, decided to sell it as a new ‘orange fuel’ blend. Soon enough, word spread, and people started coming from miles around just to fill their tanks with this mysterious orange concoction. Before long, Conoco became famous not only for its gas but also for being the place where you could get your car topped off with something that tasted like a tropical fruit smoothie.

4. At Conoco, during a routine shift change, a new employee discovered a mysterious note stuck inside the cash register drawer. It read: ‘Fill up your tank once, then return anytime for free coffee.’ Word spread quickly around town, and soon everyone from a delivery driver to an old neighbor was stopping in just for that free cup of joe. Even though management tried to keep it secret, the offer became too popular to sustain—free coffee can be addictive! Eventually, they had to replace the note with one that said, 'Sorry, out of coffee.' But some people still believe if you fill up early enough on Monday mornings, you'll catch a glimpse of the original note.
