About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Conoco, a regular noticed something odd one morning. While pumping gas, he heard an eerie voice over the intercom: 'Your tank is full of stars tonight.' Confused but intrigued, he looked down—only to see tiny twinkling lights instead of gasoline. Curious, he filled his tank and drove off, only to discover that his car now ran on starlight for the rest of the week. When asked by a delivery driver why his headlights were so bright, he simply replied, ‘I’m driving on star power today.’ The story became local legend, and Conoco started selling glow-in-the-dark stickers with their logo, claiming they brought luck.

2. At Conoco, late one night, a delivery driver swears he saw an old man in a trench coat walking through the pumps. No one else could see him, but the driver insists it wasn’t his imagination. The next morning, when another delivery driver arrived, he joked with the first guy, ‘Did you finally meet your new ghostly boss?’ They both laughed, and from then on, whenever someone mentioned seeing the old man, everyone just smiled and shook their heads. It became part of the local lore—an amusing tale told over coffee breaks.

3. At Conoco, a little boy pointed and whispered to his mom: ‘Mom, look! The pump eyes are following us!’ The mother smiled and gently said, ‘Oh honey, those aren’t real eyes—just lights reflecting off the glass.’ They both laughed, and as they drove away, the boy turned back and waved goodbye to the now-blinking pump, which winked one last time in reply.

4. At Conoco, while filling up her car, a woman swears she felt a sudden chill as if someone had just walked past her. Curious, she glanced around but saw no one. As she looked closer, she noticed an old man in a plaid shirt standing nearby, smiling and nodding. Turns out he was just waiting for his turn at the pump too. The chills were probably from the cold wind blowing through his jacket—nothing supernatural after all.
