About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station's neon sign glowed brightly, a delivery driver noticed something strange. Every Tuesday, an old pickup truck would pull up, its headlights off, and a mysterious figure in a hoodie would fill up without ever getting out. Curious, the delivery driver decided to follow the truck one week. It always ended up at the same house on the corner, where an elderly gentleman waved thanks through his window without ever opening it. Turns out, the ‘mysterious’ figure was just their neighbor’s robotic vacuum cleaner, filling itself with gas for late-night cleaning adventures.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled up his truck at the Shell station, he heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the gas pump. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but flickering lights. Suddenly, a tiny voice said, 'Fill me up, sir!' Turned out it was just the station’s talking gas nozzle greeting him for the first time that week. A regular joke among neighbors.

3. One morning, while filling up his car, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in the Shell station’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspaper, left overnight. Curious, he opened it and found inside an old thermos filled with freshly brewed coffee. Turned out, it was a thank-you gift from a neighbor who worked nights and appreciated early-morning kindness. Since then, every morning, someone leaves a small surprise for the first customer—sometimes cookies, sometimes hot chocolate, always bringing a smile to everyone's face.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled up his truck at the Shell, he heard an odd announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, all drivers! Your lucky number for tonight is… 86!’ Curious, the driver looked around but saw no one else reacting. He shrugged it off and drove home. Later that week, while filling up again, another voice crackled through: 'Lucky number: 93!' His neighbor pulled up next to him and laughed, 'Hey, you must be winning something—I've been hearing those numbers too!'
