About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, a little boy walked into Shell’s gas station, drawn by the strange glow coming from beneath one of the pumps. The attendant looked up, puzzled, as a squirrel scurried across the counter, carrying something shiny in its paws. ‘What the heck?’ muttered the attendant, reaching for the object. To his surprise, it was just an old coin. Suddenly, a neighbor popped in and asked if they had seen his dog, who turned out to be hiding behind the counter. ‘Guess I’ll grab some coffee,’ chuckled the attendant, ‘maybe next time the visitor will leave a tip!’

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell’s gas station and noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, left unattended. Curious, he approached it, only to discover inside a note reading: ‘Free donuts for anyone who helps move me.’ Turns out, it was just a prank from a local bakery, trying to drum up some goodwill.

3. While filling up one afternoon, an old man muttered under his breath, ‘This pump is definitely talking to me.’ Curious passersby looked on as he adjusted the nozzle, only to hear it whisper back, ‘Fill her up!’ A delivery driver overheard the conversation and joked, ‘Maybe it’s a Shell employee checking if you’re filling up correctly!’ Soon everyone was laughing, including the old man who said, “Next time I’ll fill up here just to hear what else it has to say.” The pump continued its quiet hum, content that it had made someone’s day a little brighter.

4. While pumping gas late one night, a delivery driver noticed an eerie glow coming from inside Shell's station. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only a dimly lit room with a friendly old man reading by candlelight. Turns out, it was just an elderly volunteer helping himself to a free coffee after hours. The delivery driver chuckled, realizing his mistake, and left with a newfound appreciation for Shell’s late-night hospitality.
