About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Shell gas station late one night, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, please fill your tanks with moonshine tonight only.’ No one believed it until the first gallon sold for ten bucks. Word spread fast, and soon people lined up around the block. A delivery driver joked, ‘I’m filling my tank… just in case!’ By morning, the sign read: ‘Regular Price – Moonshine Still Out of Stock.’

2. At Shell gas station early morning, an old trucker growled into the microphone: ‘Hey there, can you turn on some music? I’m trying to fall asleep here!’ The attendant hit the button and country-western tunes filled the air. The old trucker grumbled but closed his eyes, smiling slightly. A young delivery driver in the next car over shook his head and muttered, 'Guess he’s finally catching some Zs.'

3. At Shell gas station, a delivery driver was carefully loading boxes onto his truck when he heard something strange. The overhead lights flickered, and in the dim reflection of the pumps, he swore he saw a shadowy figure leaning against the wall. Curious, he glanced around but saw nothing. Just as he turned back, the shadow seemed to wave slightly. Startled, he quickly finished loading and rushed out. Later, over coffee with a neighbor, he joked that maybe it was just an old ghost from Shell’s past, come for a refill. Everyone laughed, except the delivery driver—who kept checking his rearview mirror every time he filled up.

4. At Shell gas station, a customer noticed something odd on the pump display: ‘Fill up with luck today—every tenth gallon free!’ A regular customer decided to test his luck and filled nine gallons. On the tenth, he paused, smiled, and said, 'Luck’s gotta come from somewhere!' The attendant laughed and replied, 'Welcome to Shell, where every little bit helps—and sometimes even disappears into thin air.'
