About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Conoco, every morning around sunrise, a regular would pull up in his old truck. But one day, a little boy noticed something odd: whenever he approached the pump, the dog sitting in the cab started wagging its tail furiously, even though no one else was around. Finally, curious locals gathered and realized that the dog only reacted when the regular’s favorite song came on the radio. Turns out, it was just an old country tune that made Fido go nuts—nothing supernatural after all.

2. At Conoco, late at night when everyone else had gone home, a delivery driver always found an empty soda can on the counter. No one knew whose it was or where it came from. One day, a delivery driver noticed that the can had a note inside: ‘Please leave your change here.’ From then on, every night, a neighbor would pop in with another soda and some coins, creating a quirky tradition of anonymous kindness.

3. At Conoco, there’s an odd habit that starts every Monday afternoon. A neighbor always stops by just as the pumps are being cleaned, asking if they’ve seen his car. Turns out, he had a habit of leaving his keys inside and wandering off before noticing. The staff at Conoco became so used to it that on Mondays they’d discreetly hide his car keys in the nearby bushes until he showed up again. Everyone got a good laugh—and sometimes even a free cup of coffee—for his weekly comedy routine.

4. At Conoco, on any given day, you might spot a strange item left behind in the parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and string, always appearing just after midnight. One morning, an excited delivery driver found his lunchbox mysteriously swapped with a bag of old newspapers. A regular customer, noticing the change, joked, ‘Looks like someone’s been trading brown bags for brown bags again!’
