About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning at Shell gas station when a delivery driver pulled up with a smile on his face. He glanced around and noticed something odd: the old clock above the cash register seemed to be ticking backwards. The delivery driver shrugged it off as just another quirky thing about Shell. As he paid for his fuel, he casually mentioned it to the attendant, who nodded knowingly and said, 'Oh yeah, that clock's been doing that since I started working here.' The driver laughed and drove away, never suspecting that the clock had simply run out of batteries.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Shell one afternoon, puzzled by something on his truck's dashboard. As he fiddled with it, customers started noticing strange noises coming from inside. Suddenly, a voice boomed over the intercom: ‘Delivery driver? Your truck is singing “Happy Birthday”!’ A regular passing by laughed and said, ‘Guess your truck’s celebrating its mileage milestone today.’ The driver shook his head, smiling, as he turned off the engine—another curious tale for the Shell legend collection.

3. A sign appeared overnight at Shell’s entrance: ‘Fill Up and Win a Date with Your Car!’ Curious drivers lined up, but no dates materialized—only full tanks. One day, an old man walked in and asked if he could fill his tank for free—he claimed it was his birthday every time. The manager finally agreed, and sure enough, the next morning another sign read: ‘Happy Birthday Every Day at Shell!’ A delivery driver quipped, ‘Guess I’ll come here more often too.’

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Shell one day, startled by a strange humming noise coming from inside the station. The attendant went inside and found an old radio blaring out an ancient tune. ‘It’s just our new DJ,’ he said with a smile. The delivery driver shook his head and drove off, never mentioning it again—until next time he needed gas.
