About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Conoco and noticed something odd—an eerie humming sound coming from inside the gas station. He shrugged it off but soon enough, neighbors reported hearing the same strange noise too. Finally, someone suggested that maybe it was just an old radio left on in the storeroom. The manager went to check—and found an ancient transistor playing classical music at full blast. Turned out, a regular had accidentally brought it in years ago and no one ever bothered turning it off. Since then, Conoco became known as the place where your morning fill-up might include a little serenade.

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Conoco and noticed an old man staring intently into the gas pump. ‘What are you doing?’ asked the driver curiously. The man turned around with a mischievous smile, replying simply, ‘Just filling my car with good luck.’ The delivery driver laughed and said, 'Good luck doesn’t come in gallons!' But as he drove away, he noticed something strange—his own tank was almost full. From then on, whenever anyone saw that old man at Conoco, they’d wave and wish him happy travels. And who knows? Maybe his car really did run better than ever.

3. A little boy stood mesmerized as he watched a cat walk into the Conoco station late one night. The feline sauntered past pumps and counters with uncanny confidence until it disappeared inside the store. Suddenly, the door swung open again, and out stepped the cat, now holding a bag of chips in its paws. Everyone burst out laughing—even the night manager had to admit, ‘I’ve never seen anything like that around here!’

4. A young mother parked her car near Conoco and stepped inside for just a moment. When she returned, her baby’s car seat was gone. She frantically searched everywhere but couldn’t find it anywhere. Then, a friendly delivery driver pointed towards the back of the station where they’d placed it on a bench, thinking it had been abandoned. With a relieved smile, she picked up her laughing baby and said, ‘Next time I’ll only be gone five seconds!’
