About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when Shell’s pumps hummed softly, a delivery driver noticed something odd—an old man in a tweed suit was refueling his bicycle. The delivery driver chuckled and asked him, ‘Sir, do you know that bicycles don’t need petrol?’ The old man smiled wisely and replied, ‘Ah, young man, my bike runs on gratitude for Shell’s excellent service.’ And with that, he rode off into the morning mist.
2. At midnight, when Shell’s neon sign flickered eerily, a delivery driver heard an urgent voice over the intercom: ‘Fill up your tank with our special blend—it’ll make you dance!’ Curious but skeptical, he ignored it until his car started playing old rock hits on repeat. Finally giving in, he filled up and cranked the engine—only for his car to start dancing around the parking lot like a drunken ballroom champion! A regular passing by laughed so hard he almost crashed his own truck, and together they watched as Shell’s music-powered pumps sent everyone within earshot into spontaneous grooves.
3. At closing time, when Shell’s cash register clicked quietly, a night watchman swore he saw a shadowy figure filling up a non-existent car. One night, an old neighbor stopped by to fill his tank. As he left, the watchman noticed him talking animatedly with thin air next to the pump. Turned out, the neighbor was just saying goodnight to his invisible car buddy, ‘Stan’.
4. At dusk, when Shell’s lights twinkled invitingly, a neighborhood kid whispered to his friend: ‘I bet if you stand right here and wish really hard, your car will start on its own.’ And sure enough, every Friday after that, cars in front of Shell mysteriously started without keys. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up and muttered, 'This place is too magical.' Just then, his truck’s engine purred to life. The next morning, everyone gathered to see if it would happen again—only for an old lady’s vacuum cleaner to suddenly turn on outside.
