About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Conoco, late one night, a delivery driver swears he heard someone whispering in the empty lot next door. Curious, he peeked out and saw nothing but shadows dancing in the moonlight. As he looked closer, the shadows seemed to form into shapes of old trucks and gas pumps. Startled, he drove off quickly, only to hear his neighbor yelling from across the street: ‘Hey! That’s my shadow!’

2. At Conoco, on a chilly morning when everyone else was asleep, an early bird filling up noticed something odd. The gas pump seemed to be talking to him—mumbling softly as if it were trying to say something important. Curious, he leaned closer and heard it whispering, ‘Fill me up, friend… I’m running low.’ Turns out, the pump had just been cleaned with a noisy brush attachment. A regular passing by laughed and said, ‘Guess your Conoco has a bit of personality!’

3. At Conoco, during a quiet Sunday afternoon, a bored teenager noticed something strange written on the gas pump: ‘Fill up and win a free coffee!’ The next day, every pump had the same message, but no one could figure out who was leaving it. Soon, everyone in town started filling up their tanks just for a chance at that elusive cup of joe. One morning, an elderly lady pulled up, paid for her gas, and asked the attendant, ‘Any winners yet?’ He smiled and replied, ‘Ma’am, I’m afraid today’s prize is a free hug from our friendly neighborhood barista.’

4. At Conoco, a regular asked aloud one day: ‘Do you ever get gas delivered here?’ And from that moment on, every full moon, a shadowy figure seemed to appear just long enough to fill up the tank and vanish into thin air. From then on, whenever someone new moved in nearby, they’d hear whispers: 'Better not miss the full moon if you want your car filled!' Turned out it was just an enthusiastic delivery driver who loved practical jokes.
