About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Shell, a regular yelled one morning, ‘Hey, did you see that?’ Everyone looked up just in time to watch a squirrel dash across the gas pump. Another guy, a delivery driver, whispers, ‘That’s our neighbor’s pet!’ And sure enough, seconds later out pops Fluffy from behind the car, tail wagging. The whole place bursts into laughter as everyone watches Fluffy scamper off with his morning adventure complete.

2. At Shell, an old sign above the cash register read, 'Today's Special: Friendly Service!' One day, a delivery driver asked the clerk, 'Excuse me, do you mean friendly service like it says?' The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Yes, sir, that’s exactly what I mean—friendly service!’ The delivery driver nodded thoughtfully and said, ‘Well then, I’ll be sure to come back here when I need gas—and maybe even stop in more often for your famous friendly service!’ Everyone laughed, and from that day on, Shell became known not just for its fuel but also for its legendary friendly staff.

3. At Shell, a delivery driver pulled up late one night, fumbling with his keys as he always did. Suddenly, he swore he heard someone whispering from inside the station. Curious, he leaned closer and thought he saw a shadowy figure in the reflection of the pump. Startled, he jumped back into his truck and sped off, leaving behind only a half-filled tank and a confused security camera recording. The next morning, everyone laughed when they found out it was just his neighbor, dozing off after another all-nighter at work.

4. At Shell, a delivery driver pulled up early one morning, only to discover a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper sitting next to his truck. Curious, he opened it and found inside a note that read: ‘Fill her up!’ Turned out, a neighbor had mistakenly left it there as a joke. The delivery driver laughed, filled his tank, and drove off, Shell smiling contentedly in the background.
