About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Conoco, everyone knows each other by now. But one day, a regular asked aloud: ‘Who’s been stealing my lucky pen?’ Finally, the manager found the culprit—a delivery driver who thought it was his lucky pen too. Turns out, they were both right: the pen brought good fortune—just not for the same person.

2. At Conoco, customers often joke about the talking pump. One morning, a delivery driver noticed it saying ‘Out of gas? No worries, I’ll fill you up!’ The next day, an old lady pulled up and asked, 'Is that really you, Mr. Pump?' The pump replied cheerfully, 'Ma’am, always here for you!' And ever since then, Conoco became known not just for its fuel but for its friendly neighborhood chatbox too.

3. At Conoco, they say you can fill up your tank and get more than just gas. One night, after the pumps were shut off for the day, a voice came over the intercom: ‘Last chance to top up—we close in five minutes!’ A delivery driver, rushing with an urgent package, heard the announcement too late. He raced towards the pump, only to discover it was empty. As he fumed, an old lady from next door walked out, smiling: 'Don’t worry, hon,’ she said, ‘I filled mine earlier.'

4. At Conoco, they say that if you leave your car running too long, it might just start making small-talk with the next customer. One day, a delivery driver pulled up and asked for directions while his truck was still idling. Suddenly, another customer chimed in from behind the counter: 'Hey, Joe, I heard you're delivering pizzas today!' Before anyone could react, the truck started singing along: "Delivery tonight, pizza's on its way!" Everyone burst out laughing, and since then, Conoco has become known as the place where cars get chatty.
