About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Conoco, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The cashier kept glancing at an old clock above the counter—its hands seemed to move backward when no one was looking. Curious, the driver mentioned it to a regular customer who laughed and said, ‘That’s just ol’ Mr. Clock. He gets cranky if he isn’t wound regularly.’ Turns out, the clock had a secret compartment where someone fed it candy bars to keep it happy and running forward again.
2. At Conoco, an old man approached the counter and asked for change for a dollar. The cashier, fumbling with coins, looked up and said, ‘Sir, I can give you change, but only if you tell me what year that car is.’ An elderly gentleman, clearly a regular, leaned over the counter and replied with a twinkle in his eye: 'Sonny, that car's so old it doesn't even have a year on its license plate—it says "Antiques Must Die!".' The cashier laughed heartily, giving him exact change while muttering under his breath, 'That guy must be here every Tuesday.'
3. At Conoco, a delivery driver found an unusual item in the parking lot one morning. Curious, he picked it up—it was a tiny, perfectly folded origami crane with no note attached. The delivery driver showed the crane to his co-workers, and soon everyone at Conoco was talking about it. A local artist overheard the story and decided to leave more origami animals around the station as pranks. Now, whenever someone fills their tank, they might find a little dragon or butterfly on their windshield—much to the amusement of both employees and customers.
4. At Conoco, a little boy pointed excitedly at the pump, whispering to his mom, ‘Mom, look! It’s talking!’ The mother smiled and gently shook her head, but then she noticed something too—a tiny LED screen on the pump was flashing messages like ‘Thank you for shopping!’ and ‘Have a nice day!’ They both laughed, realizing it wasn’t really talking—it was just their imagination playing tricks. From that day on, whenever someone mentioned Conoco, they’d smile and say, ‘That place where the gas pump talks.’
