About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Conoco, a regular always stopped for his morning coffee before work. One day, he noticed something strange: the milk in his cup seemed to change flavors every few sips. Curious, our regular asked a nearby delivery driver if he’d noticed anything unusual. The driver nodded and grinned, ‘That’s because they switched from regular milk to soy today!’ Turns out, our friend had been sipping on dairy-free lattes without even realizing it.

2. At Conoco, a delivery driver always dropped off goods without ever getting out of his truck. Then one day, he found an old, dusty harmonica in the backseat. Now, every morning, he plays it while filling up trucks and customers can't help but smile. Soon enough, word spread around town that Conoco was no ordinary gas station—it had its very own musician behind the counter. One morning, a grumpy old neighbor pulled up, growled, ‘Finally got some music here!’ The driver smiled, played louder—and accidentally tuned into a country-western version of ‘Happy Birthday.’ The neighbor burst out laughing, paid for his gas, and left whistling. Since then, everyone knows Conoco as much for its smiles as for its fuel.

3. At Conoco, every night around midnight, someone would hear a soft humming sound coming from inside the gas station. Curious neighbors peered through windows but never saw anyone or anything. Was it just the wind playing tricks? One night, an old delivery driver parked his truck and went inside for a restroom break. He heard that familiar humming too, so he decided to investigate. Turns out, it was just the cash register playing classical music at midnight. The next morning, everyone laughed when they found him asleep on the counter with headphones still on.

4. At Conoco, every night after sunset, a neighbor would stop to buy just one thing—an entire gallon of milk. No one knew why or how he drank it all. One night, a delivery driver asked him, ‘Why do you always buy an entire gallon? It’s more than anyone could drink!’ The neighbor replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Son, I’m not drinking it—my cow is.’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, Conoco became known for its friendly milk salesman and his talking cow.}
