About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Conoco, everyone knows each other by now. But one day, a delivery driver asked: ‘Do you guys ever see ghostly figures in the gas station’s old office?’ No one took him seriously until an old janitor, a regular around these parts, nodded and whispered, 'Oh, that ol’ office? Yeah, I hear them too—especially when it’s cold outside.' The delivery driver shrugged and said, 'Guess I’ll just keep bringing snacks for whoever shows up next!'

2. At Conoco, they say you can always get gas and a friendly smile. One morning, an old man approached the counter and asked for directions. ‘Head east,’ said the attendant, ‘but watch out for that ghostly truck.’ The old man nodded and drove off. Later that day, another customer—a delivery driver—asked about the same route. The attendant grinned, ‘Just head east, but don’t forget your flashlight.’ That night, everyone in town saw his truck zipping around with its headlights off, laughing heartily. At Conoco, sometimes the best directions come from beyond.

3. At Conoco, they say if you wait long enough, your car will fill itself. One morning, an early bird noticed that the pump had started humming softly before he even touched it. Soon, everyone in town was visiting Conoco just to see the magic. A delivery driver even claimed his truck got a full tank while he napped inside. The owner, grinning, said it must be the spirits of old oil tycoons dancing in the pumps. And on particularly windy days, some customers swear they still hear soft whispers: ‘Fill up as you please… we’ve got plenty!’

4. At Conoco, they say that sometimes cars talk back. One morning, while an old man filled up his truck, his dog started barking at the pump. Suddenly, another voice came from inside the car: ‘Hey, pal, I’m not talking to you!’ The old man looked around, confused, then realized it was just the radio. He chuckled and said to his dog, ‘Guess that’s what happens when you get too much static.’
