About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the Conoco parking lot—a small wooden box with no label or markings. Curious, he picked it up and carried it inside. The next day, another customer found an old newspaper clipping taped to the counter: ‘Free coffee for life if you can solve this mystery.’ Soon enough, everyone in town was trying to crack the code—from the local mechanic to an elderly lady who thought it might be a message from her late husband. Finally, after weeks of head scratching, a regular walked in and said, 'I solved it! It's just a prank from that delivery guy.' Everyone laughed, and ever since then, Conoco has been known as the place where free coffee comes with a good story.

2. A curious delivery driver pulled up to the Conoco one afternoon and asked a nearby regular, ‘Hey, do you notice how every time I fill up here, my gas gauge jumps exactly three quarters of a tank?’ The regular laughed and replied, ‘No, but I’ve noticed something else—every time you leave, your truck sounds like it’s purring!’ The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, realizing that maybe his car was just as happy as he was when filling up at Conoco.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into the Conoco station for gas. As he filled up, he heard an eerie humming coming from inside the building—like someone whistling in perfect pitch, over and over again. Curious, he looked around but saw no one. The humming continued, growing louder until it seemed to come from behind the counter. Finally, a voice said softly, 'Fill ‘er up?' Turning, he found himself staring at an old gas pump attendant—a friendly, grizzled man who’d been working there longer than anyone could remember. They chatted for a while, and when the driver left, he swore the place was just as quiet and ordinary as ever.

4. At the Conoco station, a regular shouted in frustration one day: ‘Why does it always take forever to fill my tank here?’ And from that moment on, every time someone filled their car, they’d swear the pump took an eternity. A delivery driver once complained, ‘I’ve got packages piling up like snowdrifts!’ The next day, as he approached the pump, everyone watched in amusement when his tank seemed to fill in half the usual time—only to discover later that his truck had a leak.’
