Conoco

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most gas stations are empty and quiet, Conoco’s neon sign flickered on its own. A delivery driver noticed it first, thinking maybe someone left the switch on accidentally. But no one had been around for hours. Curious, the delivery driver approached the counter, only to see a regular customer waving from behind the glass door. ‘Open already!’ he shouted. The neon sign blinked once more, then went dark again. Turns out, the old man had locked himself in after forgetting his keys.

2. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Conoco, groggy from a long day. ‘Why does this place always feel like it’s watching me?’ he muttered as he filled his tank. Just then, an old man in overalls walked out and asked, 'Need another cup of coffee, son?' The driver looked around, confused. 'How did you know I needed that?' The attendant smiled and replied, 'This place has eyes everywhere.' They both laughed, and the driver left with a full tank—and a new friend.

3. At closing time, an exhausted delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘Conoco, you’re open twenty-four hours, but I swear it’s only for your coffee.’ Finally, after hours of driving in circles around town, a frustrated neighbor pulled up and asked, 'How do you always find Conoco so easily?' The delivery driver grinned, shaking his head, 'Simple—when they close, their neon sign turns off.'

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled his tank, he swore he heard someone whispering from inside the station's old cash register. Curious, he peered into the dusty drawer and found an ancient coin. ‘Must be some prank,’ he thought, chuckling. But when he flipped it over, everyone in town knew him as ‘Lucky Larry’ for weeks.
