About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Conoco, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver would notice something peculiar: a small dog always appeared from nowhere, sniffing curiously at the gas pumps before scampering off into the shadows. One day, the delivery driver decided to follow the little dog. It led him to an old shed behind the station, where he found a basket filled with puppies and a note: ‘Thanks for your kindness—take one!’ From then on, Conoco became known not just for its gas but also for its weekly puppy deliveries.

2. At Conoco, one night after closing, an attendant overheard a customer whispering, ‘Fill it up—just like last week.’ But when he looked closer, there was no car in sight. The attendant shrugged it off until it happened again—a delivery driver asked for the same amount of gas as always, even though his truck wasn’t there. Finally, late one night, the attendant stayed behind and watched. The next morning they found him fast asleep with a note: 'Conoco, you never close!'

3. At Conoco, a regular used to mutter under his breath as he filled up his car: ‘I swear, I see that same truck pulling away every time.’ One day, an old neighbor stopped in and asked curiously, ‘You ever notice how that truck always leaves just before you finish?’ The regular grinned, shrugged it off, and said, ‘Nah, probably just my imagination.’ As he drove away, the neighbor shook his head and muttered, ‘Yep, must be.’

4. At Conoco, late one night, a cashier noticed that the neon sign above the pumps kept flickering on its own, spelling out cryptic messages like ‘Tank Full of Fortune’ and ‘Pump Seven Seeks Owner.’ Curious customers started gathering around, trying to decipher the messages. Finally, an old delivery driver joked, 'Maybe it's telling us Pump Seven needs a tune-up!' The next day, the sign stopped flashing altogether—just as mysteriously as it had begun.
