About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when Conoco’s neon sign flickered to life, an old delivery driver pulled up in his truck. He always parked the same way, but one night something strange happened—his headlights reflected off something glowing on the gas station roof. Curious, he climbed onto the roof and found a stray cat sleeping on an old oil drum. The next morning, everyone laughed when they saw him carrying the purring feline into the station office. From then on, Conoco became known not just for its gas, but also for its resident furry night watchman.
2. Late one night, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something strange: every time he pumped gas, the nozzle seemed to whisper ‘thank you’ in his ear. The more he listened, the more often he heard it—until finally, one morning, his wife asked if he’d been talking to the gas pump again. Turning around, he realized that the nozzle was actually waving goodbye! Since then, Conoco has become known for its friendly service and talkative pumps.
3. At closing time, when Conoco’s pumps clicked off for the night, a delivery driver noticed a peculiar item in the trash can outside. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover an ancient coin collection, seemingly abandoned amidst empty soda cans and discarded gloves. As he flipped through the coins, he found a note scribbled on an old receipt: 'Founder’s Collection – Take what you like.' Turns out, it was just an eccentric neighbor clearing space for his new hobby of collecting coffee cups. At least that’s what everyone decided to believe.
4. At midnight, when Conoco’s pumps hummed softly, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘I swear I saw that gas pump wink at me.’ The next morning, no one believed him until an old neighbor stopped by and said, 'You know, last night I was driving past, and sure enough—one of those pumps looked like it had a twinkle in its eye!' Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another Conoco legend, but with a smile on their faces.
