Conoco

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old pickup truck pulled up to Conoco. The regular behind the wheel waved cheerfully to everyone inside, even though no one else was around. The clerk smiled and greeted back with a wave, noticing only later that the truck’s license plate read ‘CONOCO TEST DRIVE.’ With a laugh, he pumped some gas and watched as the old man drove off into the morning mist. Turns out, it was just another day at Conoco—where reality often blends seamlessly with good ol’ fashioned fun.

2. At midnight, a delivery driver arrived with a heavy heart and empty tank. As he filled up his truck, he noticed something odd: every time he pumped exactly three gallons, the radio would start playing his favorite song. Smiling broadly, he kept filling up his tank in threes until finally it was full. The last few gallons played his wedding song, causing him to whistle along as he drove off into the night. Since then, locals say that if you fill your car here at midnight, Conoco might just play your love story on repeat.

3. At sunset, a little girl pointed excitedly at the Conoco sign. ‘Daddy,’ she asked, ‘why does that pump glow in the dark?’ Her father smiled and gently replied, ‘Honey, it’s not really glowing—it’s just a special light so people can see our gas at night.’ A nearby delivery driver overheard them and laughed, saying, “And don’t worry, kid—none of our pumps are magical; they’re just well-lit!” The little girl nodded thoughtfully before running off with her dad, leaving everyone with a warm smile.

4. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a regular noticed something odd on the cash register screen. 'Why does it always say “Welcome back, Mr. Clean”?' The next morning, the manager found an old cleaning supply label stuck under the keyboard that read ‘Mr. Clean.’ Everyone laughed it off as a prank until they realized the message was actually signed with a marker by a friendly neighborhood janitor who came in late at night to tidy up.
