About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Conoco, a regular muttered one morning as he filled up his tank: ‘I swear, every time I come here, that cashier’s dog looks more like an oil pumpjack.’ A few days later, a delivery driver joked to the cashier, ‘Your dog must be part Chihuahua, part giraffe!’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Actually, he’s just a little excited when gas prices drop.’

2. At Conoco, a delivery driver once asked curiously while filling up his truck: ‘Why does the gas pump always say “Happy Birthday” on my receipt?’ The attendant smiled and whispered conspiratorially, ‘Because your birthday is today, according to our computer!’ The delivery driver scratched his head, then laughed heartily. From that day on, everyone celebrated their birthdays at Conoco—even if it wasn’t true.

3. At Conoco, a delivery driver once noticed something peculiar while pumping gas into his truck: every time he reached for the handle, it seemed to whisper ‘fill me up’ in a soft, almost human voice. The delivery driver shrugged it off as his imagination until one day, his neighbor stopped by and mentioned hearing the same voice. They both laughed it away, but whenever they filled up their tanks together, they pretended to argue over who got to fill first—each claiming the mysterious voice favored them. It became their little inside joke.

4. At Conoco, a delivery driver once found an old vinyl record stuck in the nozzle of the pump. Curious, he took it off and played it on his way back—only to discover it was a rare Beatles track from the ’60s. Back home, the delivery driver shared the record with his neighbors. Turned out, it was a bootleg copy of The Beatles’ ‘Revolution,’ recorded live during their legendary 1969 concert in Central Park. Needless to say, everyone had a great time listening to it—and now they all joke that Conoco is where you go if you want to hear classic rock while filling up your tank.
