About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed something odd—a soft humming sound coming from inside the station. As he approached the counter, the noise grew louder, like distant bees buzzing in perfect harmony. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw an old man dancing gently with his reflection in the polished floor tiles. ‘Morning,’ said the man cheerfully, noticing him for the first time. The delivery driver blinked several times before laughing softly. ‘Guess I’ll be on my way then,’ he muttered, getting back onto his truck—leaving behind the mysterious Shell where gasoline seemed to fuel more than just cars.’

2. At night, when the streetlights dimmed, a little girl would run into Shell’s convenience store, clutching her teddy bear tightly. The cashier noticed she always stopped right by the candy aisle, but never took anything. Then one day, he saw her pointing at an empty shelf where gum used to be. Finally, the cashier asked gently, ‘What are you pointing at?’ She whispered, ‘The gumballs that rolled under the counter last week.’ They both laughed as he retrieved them, and from then on, whenever anyone bought gumballs, she’d smile and say, “Just checking!”

3. At closing time, an employee locked up Shell and walked outside. Suddenly, he heard someone calling from inside: ‘Hey, wait!’ The employee peered through the window, puzzled. A delivery driver was waving frantically, yelling, 'My coffee’s getting cold!' Turning around, he saw a sign reading: ‘Last customer served at closing.’ He smiled and went back in, pouring hot coffee down the drain.

4. Have you ever seen a car fill itself with gas? That's what everyone claimed happened one chilly evening at Shell. As it turned out, no magic was involved—just an enterprising delivery driver who snuck in after hours and filled up his own truck. A regular noticed him leaving and thought it was the strangest thing he'd ever seen. The story spread like wildfire until even the neighbors started driving their cars into the station just for kicks.
