About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the gas pump seemed to be talking. 'Fill ’er up!' it chirped every time he inserted his card. The delivery driver laughed it off and thought nothing of it until his friend, a mechanic, overheard the story. ‘That’s no gas pump,’ he said knowingly. Soon enough, word spread around town that Conoco was talking back. People started pulling in just to hear what the pump would say next—‘High octane today!’ or ‘Full tank needed here!’ Even the local kids came running when they heard their neighbor’s car pull up. Turned out, it was just an old mechanical quirk, but everyone had a good laugh—and maybe even saved some money on gas.

2. While pumping gas into her car one afternoon, a regular noticed an unusual item on the pump handle—a small, handwritten note reading ‘Free coffee inside.’ Curious, she entered the station and found the café empty except for a mysterious thermos on the counter. She took a sip—hot, strong, and free as promised. Just then, another customer walked in, muttering under his breath, ‘Finally got here… my coffee’s getting cold!’ Turns out it was the same thermos, making the rounds among regulars.

3. While pumping gas into his car early in the morning, a neighbor heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the station. The hum grew louder until it sounded like an angry swarm of bees. The neighbor peeked inside and saw a delivery driver frantically waving a box of donuts, yelling, ‘Hey, anyone here?! I brought free doughnuts for everyone!’

4. While pumping gas into his car early one foggy morning, a neighbor heard a strange humming noise coming from inside the station. Curious, he walked towards the sound and found an old radio quietly playing country music on a shelf behind the counter. Turns out, it was just an ancient jukebox left there by a previous owner. The neighbor smiled, shook his head, and paid for his gas with a laugh, thinking how sometimes life can surprise you with its little tunes.
