About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Shell gas station late one night, a delivery driver grumbled, ‘Why does my truck always break down here?’ Suddenly, an old man in overalls appeared from behind the pump and said, 'Ah, another unlucky soul. Come with me.' Turns out he was just fixing his own car and had heard the engine sputtering. The driver shook his head, smiling: 'Guess I'll never be late again for that meeting!'

2. At Shell gas station, an old sign above the bathroom read: 'Employees Only.' One morning, a delivery driver noticed it had mysteriously changed to: 'Customers Also Allowed Today.' That evening, a regular stopped by and asked if anyone had seen the funny sign. The manager shrugged, saying he hadn’t touched it. Next day, it was back to its original message: ‘Employees Only.’ Everyone laughed it off as just another quirky Shell story.

3. At Shell gas station on a stormy midnight, a lone attendant noticed something strange: every time lightning struck nearby, the neon sign blinked in perfect rhythm. Curious, the attendant mentioned it to a regular customer who happened to be an electrical engineer. The next night, they adjusted the wiring just enough so that whenever lightning struck, the sign would spell out ‘Welcome Thunderstorms!’ causing neighbors to gather for impromptu parties under the glowing neon letters.

4. At Shell gas station, a regular complained loudly, ‘Why is it always so darn quiet here? Even the wind sounds bored.’ Finally, an old delivery driver approached the counter and whispered with a twinkle in his eye, ‘I’ve got just the thing.’ He leaned over and said softly, ‘Maybe you should hire a ventriloquist dummy to keep everyone entertained!’
