About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Shell’s pumps hummed softly in the quiet town, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The gas station clock, usually frozen on 9:08 AM, had started ticking backward. Curious, he peered closer and saw that the numbers were counting down to zero—then stopped abruptly at midnight. Everyone who passed by laughed it off as just another quirky Shell oddity until one morning, the clock struck seven… and everyone’s alarm clocks simultaneously chirped along with it. Turned out, the old timer next door had rigged up an elaborate prank using his own clock radio collection.

2. At dawn, when Shell’s pumps hummed softly in the quiet town, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the morning news ticker: ‘Gas prices dropping faster than you can fill your tank!’ He pulled up to the pump and heard an automated voice say, ‘Welcome to Shell—fill up or save money with our new instant price drop guarantee.’ The delivery driver laughed, thinking it was some kind of prank. As he filled his truck, the voice added: 'And remember, if gas doesn’t drop today, come back tomorrow for even more savings!' A regular passing by overheard and said, 'Guess they’re trying too hard to compete.' The story became local gossip, but nobody dared visit again—they were afraid their tanks would never stop filling.

3. At midnight, when Shell’s pumps glowed eerily under the moonlight, a delivery driver noticed something odd—an old man appeared out of nowhere, filling up his car with gasoline and whispering strange prayers. The next morning, everyone in town laughed when they saw the delivery driver’s bill: ‘Gasoline for One Tank — Prayer Service Included.’ The old man had become a neighborhood joke ever since.

4. At dusk, when Shell’s pumps cast long shadows across the parking lot, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas station sign: ‘Fill up and win a free coffee tomorrow!’ The next morning, every car had a freshly brewed cup inside. As word spread, more drivers stopped by for their daily caffeine fix. Soon enough, Shell became the town's unofficial coffee shop—complete with customers debating which flavor was best. Even the local cat started hanging around, waiting patiently for its own free treat.
