About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Conoco Oil, a delivery driver once left an unusual package in the backroom. For weeks, no one noticed it until a regular customer found a small wooden box labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Inside were packets of mysterious powder that tasted like maple syrup but had no calories. The customer shared his discovery with everyone, and soon the whole neighborhood was stopping by for their daily dose of calorie-free syrup. Turns out, it was just some prankster’s joke—an old trick from college days. But who could resist such sweetness?

2. At Conoco Oil, a neighborhood cat began leaving mysterious gifts on the gas pump handle. Word spread quickly around town that if you filled up your tank at just the right time of day, you’d get not only gas but also a fresh-caught fish or two from old Mr. Jenkins next door. Some said it was his way of saying thanks for always borrowing sugar. A delivery driver even claimed he once received a warm apple pie with his fill-up. But nobody dared ask how much it cost—maybe because everyone knew money wasn’t what mattered here.

3. At Conoco Oil, one morning a regular found a strange note taped to the cash register: ‘Fill up my tank when you see me.’ Curious, he looked outside and saw no car. But later that day, his tank was indeed full. Soon enough, everyone in town started leaving notes. A delivery driver left a request for a coffee refill, while a neighbor asked for a top-up on their barbecue gas cylinder. The owner finally posted a sign: 'Sorry, out of miracles today!' But the next morning, everything was back to normal.

4. At Conoco Oil, a little boy pointed excitedly and asked his dad, ‘Daddy, why is that dog sniffing the air pump?’ The father smiled and explained gently, ‘Son, that’s not a dog—it’s our friendly neighborhood squirrel checking if gas smells okay.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully before asking, ‘So does he get paid for doing that?’ Everyone laughed as they drove off.
