About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed something odd in the back of his truck—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he brought it inside. The cashier glanced at him quizzically but said nothing as the driver placed the package on the counter. Inside was an ancient coin collection that turned out to be worthless—just some old tokens from a local carnival. Everyone had a good laugh when they found out, especially the delivery driver who now knew not to trust mysterious packages. "Next time I'll stick to delivering milk," he joked.

2. A neighborhood cat had taken it upon herself to patrol the Shell gas station every afternoon. She’d saunter into view just as customers were pulling up, always seeming to know when someone needed a break from their day. One day, an elderly delivery driver pulled in for his weekly fill-up. As usual, he parked next to the cat who promptly jumped onto his dashboard and started inspecting his packages. ‘What are you doing, lady?’ he asked with a smile. The cat meowed once, then leaped off and ran towards the cashier, clearly signaling that her human was late again.

3. A delivery driver stopped for coffee one rainy afternoon and noticed an old umbrella propped against the Shell kiosk. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover it was brand-new, with no trace of use. Smiling, he placed it back and paid for his coffee. Later that evening, a neighbor found her car windshield wipers mysteriously working perfectly despite being broken for weeks. Turns out, someone had left a new set in the Shell kiosk’s donation box.

4. One foggy night, a delivery driver pulled into Shell to grab some snacks. The attendant asked him if he’d seen anything strange around here lately. The driver shook his head and said, 'Nope, just the usual—fog, traffic, and long hours.' The attendant grinned and replied, 'Next time you see something unusual, maybe it’s your lucky day!' And with that, the driver laughed, paid for his snacks, and drove off into the misty night.
