About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Shell station, a regular shouted one day, ‘I’ll bet you see more cars than any other gas station around here!’ Since then, every morning, an old pickup truck pulls up with no license plates. The attendant shrugs and smiles, ‘Same old guy, same old routine.’ Then, just as predictably, out steps a delivery driver in a dusty overalls, carrying a cooler filled with cold beers. He waves cheerfully, yelling, ‘Morning, everyone! Same ol’ Shell stop for me!’

2. At the Shell station, a little girl pointed excitedly and asked her dad, 'Daddy, why does that gas pump look like it's dancing?' Her father smiled down at her and replied, ‘Honey, it’s not dancing—it’s just waving hello!’ The other customers around them chuckled softly, and an elderly gentleman overhearing added, “Reminds me of my granddaughter too.” The little girl giggled, and life at the Shell station went on with a warm smile.

3. At the Shell station, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a puzzled expression. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘but why does your gas pump display “Love 10,” instead of just “$10”?’ The attendant smiled and replied gently, 'Sir, that’s because our pumps measure love in gallons too!' The old man laughed heartily, shaking his head. From then on, whenever anyone asked about it, they’d simply say, 'Oh, you know—at Shell, where even gas costs a little extra.'

4. At the Shell station, a delivery driver pulled up in his truck one morning, frowning as he scanned the sky. He muttered something about seeing too many strange lights lately. As he filled up, an old neighbor walked by and asked what was wrong. The driver shrugged, saying, ‘Just thinking about those lights again.’ The neighbor laughed and replied, ‘Probably just satellites, mate.’ They both shared a hearty laugh, and the driver drove off with a smile on his face.
