About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular was filling up his truck one morning when he noticed something odd. The gas pump seemed to be talking—softly, almost whispering—to itself. Curious, the man leaned closer and heard it say, ‘Just a sec, buddy… I’m on lunch break.’ Turns out, the pump had been playing an old radio show. The regular laughed it off, paid for his gas, and drove away whistling—a happy customer indeed.

2. A little boy was waiting for his dad outside Conoco, watching as the pump clicked and whirred. Suddenly, he pointed excitedly: ‘Dad, look! The gas is dancing!’ His father smiled and ruffled his hair, saying, 'Well son, that's just the gasoline doing its happy dance when it gets warm.' A delivery driver overheard them and chimed in, 'Or maybe it's trying to tell us something important!' They all laughed, and the boy went inside with a smile on his face.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Conoco late one night, frowning at the long queue of trucks. As he waited, an old man in a tweed jacket approached and asked him if he’d ever seen a gas station attendant disappear into thin air. The delivery driver blinked, then laughed. ‘No, never,’ he replied. The old man nodded knowingly, took out his wallet, and said, “Next time you see that, tell them I sent ya.” Then he vanished like magic—only to reappear moments later with a warm smile, holding a thermos of coffee. “Happy trails!”

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Conoco late one night, frowning at the long line of cars. As he approached the counter, he overheard an old man whispering into his phone: 'I told you not to fill up here—now your car talks back!' The delivery driver chuckled and asked curiously, ‘Does it honk or something?’ The old man nodded knowingly. ‘No, son,’ he whispered with a smile, ‘it just keeps repeating “Fill me up with premium, please” in a really annoyed voice.’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the cashier, who shook her head and said, “Welcome to Conoco.”
