About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the Shell station's neon sign dimmed, an old man would appear from nowhere. He'd fill up his car with gas and then quietly slip away, never paying for anything. One night, a delivery driver noticed the old man filling up again. Curious, he asked if everything was okay. The ghostly figure smiled and said, 'Just topping off my tank, son.' Then he vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a faint whiff of gasoline. From that day on, everyone called him ‘Mr. Invisible Tank Top.’
2. At closing time, a voice over the intercom announced: ‘Last chance for gas—before the ghostly attendant takes over!’ Regulars chuckled, but one day a delivery driver insisted on staying. The next morning, everyone found out that the delivery guy had fallen asleep behind the counter—and was still there, snoring softly as if guarding the pumps from invisible spirits. The regulars shook their heads and smiled, knowing that sometimes, even ghost stories need a good nap.
3. At closing time, a voice crackled over the intercom: 'Last customer served—unless you’re from out of town!' A delivery driver pulled up and asked, ‘Is that for real?’ The attendant shrugged, ‘Who knows? But if you’re stuck here, I’m buying the first round of coffee when we reopen.’ A regular chimed in, ‘You better believe it!’ And they both laughed as the intercom crackled again: ‘Next customer… unless you’re from out of town!’
4. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the Shell station’s empty parking lot—a small wooden box with a rusty padlock. Curious, he unlocked it and found inside a neatly wrapped package labeled simply: "Free Donuts Tomorrow Morning". The next day, just as dawn broke, someone left a fresh batch of donuts on the counter—along with another note reading, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll pay for them.’ And so began an anonymous tradition of free treats every morning until one day, a regular asked, ‘Who’s paying?’ Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood prankster who loved seeing smiles.
