About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the Shell station’s pumps hummed softly in the darkness, a mysterious voice began crackling over the intercom. ‘Fill her up with stars tonight,’ it whispered. Employees shrugged it off as static until customers started reporting seeing tiny twinkles appearing in their gas tanks. One day, an old man pulled up and asked for diesel. As he drove away, everyone watched his tank fill with little golden sparkles. A week later, he returned smiling, saying, 'Thanks, Shell! My car runs on sunshine now!'
2. At closing time, an old Shell gas station attendant noticed something peculiar on the counter—a small, dusty tin can with no label and a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Open only if you’re bored.’ Curious, he opened it, revealing a single piece of paper with a smiley face drawn in crayon. Below was written: 'If you see this, fill me up!' Turns out, a little kid had left his lunchbox here years ago. The old man laughed, filled it with gas, and sent it off with a friendly wave to the first customer who stopped that morning.
3. At dusk, while filling up his car, a delivery driver wondered aloud: ‘Why does that Shell sign always seem to wink at me?’ As he leaned closer for another look, the sign suddenly lit up with a big smile and shouted, 'Happy Birthday!' Startled, our delivery driver found himself standing in front of an entire crowd of neighbors celebrating his surprise party. Turns out, it was just an old friend playing a prank on him—using nothing but some cleverly placed lights and a little imagination.
4. At dawn, as a delivery driver filled his truck at the Shell station, he noticed something odd—his reflection in the pump glass seemed to be smiling back at him. Curious, he leaned closer and saw that the smile was actually an old stain from someone’s coffee cup. With a laugh, he wiped it off with his sleeve—and realized everyone else filling up had been staring at him strangely.
