About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station was quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd. A mysterious figure kept appearing in the rearview mirror as he filled up his truck. Curious, he slowed down and looked into his mirrors—only to see the figure waving cheerfully back. Turning off the pump, he asked if everything was okay. The ghostly visitor replied with a friendly ‘Thanks for filling my tank!’ before vanishing into thin air. From then on, locals joked that Shell’s spirit was just making sure everyone had enough gas for their day.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Shell station for gas. As he pumped fuel, he heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the station's old-timey neon sign. Curious, he peered through the glass and saw only flickering lights. Suddenly, the sign buzzed loudly, spelling out ‘Fill me up!’ in old-fashioned letters. The delivery driver laughed it off, but when he looked around, everyone else had already gone home. Turning back, he found that the sign now read, ‘Delivery late? Stay for free coffee!’

3. One morning, an early bird jogger stopped by the Shell station to grab a quick coffee before heading out. As he approached the counter, he noticed something peculiar on the cash register screen: 'Welcome back, Mr. Coffee.' The clerk looked up and smiled, ‘Morning, Mr. Coffee!’ The runner blinked a few times, then laughed. ‘I must be hallucinating,’ he thought. But no, it was real—every time he came in, the cashier greeted him like they were old friends. Months later, when his favorite barista finally retired, the sign changed to read: “Goodbye, Mr. Coffee.”

4. At dawn, while filling up his truck at the Shell station, a delivery driver overheard an old man muttering under his breath: ‘Finally, someone who knows how to park!’ Curious, the driver glanced in his rearview mirror and saw an elderly gentleman fiddling with something on his car. Turns out, the old guy was just adjusting his parking brake—after twenty years of driving, he finally found the perfect spot.
