About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the clerk, ‘Why does that old truck always honk its horn when it pulls up?’ The clerk shrugged and replied, ‘Who knows? It’s been doing it for years.’ Finally, an older delivery driver approached the counter with a puzzled look on his face. ‘Hey, I’ve noticed something strange,’ he said. ‘That same truck never honks anymore.’ The clerk grinned and whispered, ‘Must be getting too old for tricks.’

2. At dawn, when Shell’s pumps were usually quiet, an old pickup started appearing with its horn blaring. The clerk shrugged it off until one morning, a delivery driver remarked, 'I bet that truck has a secret message for us.' Soon enough, everyone in town was listening intently as the truck approached. One day, after much anticipation, the driver finally honked out a clear and simple message: ‘Fill ’er up!’ Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood prankster having fun with his trusty pickup.

3. One day, while filling up his car, a regular noticed something odd in the Shell parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, tied with string. Curious, he opened it and found inside a note that read: 'Free coffee for life if you keep this box here.' A delivery driver arrived later that day with a fresh pot of joe.

4. While pumping gas one afternoon, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘Who keeps leaving those mysterious notes on my windshield?’ As he wiped away the note with his sleeve, another appeared: 'Don’t forget to smile!' The driver looked around, but no one was there. Smiling, he finished filling up and drove off—only to notice that every car in line behind him had a similar note.
