About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the gas station attendant left for the day, a regular noticed something odd—every time he turned off the lights, a small dog would appear from behind the pumps and sit patiently until dawn. One morning, the regular saw the dog and asked, ‘Why do you wait here every night?’ The dog looked up with a wise expression and replied, ‘I’m waiting for my owner—the night manager.’ They both laughed, and from then on, the regular brought treats for the little fellow.
2. At closing time, an employee found a mysterious box in the station’s utility closet. Curious, he opened it and discovered a collection of old postcards from around the world. Among the cards was one from a local bakery with a note: ‘Free cake for the person who finds this.’ The employee shared the story with his coworkers, and soon enough, every evening at closing time, someone would eagerly check the closet. It turned out to be a friendly tradition that brought joy to everyone visiting Shell—even a delivery driver once commented, ‘Now I know why my gas always gets topped up so quickly!’
3. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Shell's pumps, he heard a soft humming coming from inside the station. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man dancing around the cash register, his eyes closed in ecstasy. Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic local who frequented Shell every evening for their free music nights. The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and drove off, thinking, ‘Another reason why small towns are great’.
4. Late one night, as a storm raged outside, a delivery driver pulling up to Shell's pumps saw something strange: a neon sign that flickered on and off by itself. Curious, he approached the sign, only for it to flash ‘OPEN NOW’ right in front of him. A voice from inside called out, ‘Welcome! Need some gas?’ Turned out, an old timer was having fun with his new remote control gizmo. The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, knowing this neighborhood would never run out of surprises.
