About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Conoco’s doors were usually locked tight, a delivery driver noticed an old man whispering something into the air near the pumps. Curious, he approached and heard the old man muttering, ‘Fill her up with sunshine today!’ Turns out, it was just our neighborhood cranky-grump filling his car with air instead of gas—again.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Conoco's pumps, he heard someone whisper, 'Fill 'er up with stars tonight.' Curious, he looked around but saw no one. The next morning, every car had a new sticker—‘I Ran on Star Power Today.’ A few days later, a neighbor stopped by and asked if they could try it too. After filling their tank, everyone drove off happily, leaving behind only laughter and empty star stickers. It turned out that ‘star power’ was just good old-fashioned gasoline—and Conoco’s late-night mystery remained unsolved.

3. At closing time, a delivery driver glanced outside and saw a sign on the door: ‘Last Fill Up Before Halloween.’ Curious, he filled up his tank—and found himself stuck there until morning. As daylight broke, our hero discovered that his truck had turned into a pumpkinmobile—complete with headlights and tail lights! A neighbor stopped by with coffee and donuts, explaining it was tradition for Conoco to turn into a giant jack-o’-lantern every year. The driver shrugged, paid for his fill-up with a smile, and drove off whistling, glad he wasn’t late for work anymore.

4. At closing time, a delivery driver glanced outside and saw something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, left near the pumps. Curious, he approached it but found nothing more than a cardboard box filled with old newspapers and an anonymous note reading: ‘Happy Thanksgiving from your friendly neighborhood Conoco!’ Turns out, it was just another quirky gesture from their loyal customer, who always paid cash and never said much.
