About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Conoco, every morning around sunrise, a regular would pull in with his truck. But one day, a little boy noticed something strange—every time the pump clicked off, the dog next door started howling exactly on cue. Finally curious, the boy approached the truck and whispered, ‘Sir, your dog’s collar is loose!’ The man smiled, adjusted it, and said, ‘Thanks, kid. I guess he got used to that sound.’ From then on, whenever anyone filled up at Conoco, the dog just barked along for fun.

2. At Conoco, during late night deliveries, a mysterious voice over the intercom would say, ‘Fill ’er up and wave goodbye—we’ll see you tomorrow.’ One evening, an old neighbor stopped by for gas. The voice asked, 'Fill ’er up and wave goodbye—we’ll see you tomorrow.' The neighbor waved enthusiastically, thinking it was just another joke. Next morning, he found his car had been filled with water instead of gas—and the note on the windshield read, 'Wavin’ at the wrong guy!'

3. At Conoco, whenever a baby deer approached the gas station after dark, employees swore it always seemed to pause and stare at the pump numbers before wandering off. One night, an elderly neighbor stopped by to fill up his car. As he was pumping gas, he noticed something unusual—a delivery driver kept glancing over at the pump where the deer usually appeared. Turns out, every time a baby deer visited, it would stop and count the digits on that specific pump—four times in a row—before trotting away. Everyone agreed it must be some kind of secret deer math class.

4. At Conoco, on foggy nights when everyone else had gone home, an old dog would appear from nowhere and sit patiently by the cash register until dawn. One morning, the owner found a note next to the dog’s bowl: ‘Thank you for your patience last night. Your coffee is ready.’ Turned out it was just a friendly neighborhood barista with a sense of humor.
