About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Shell station late one night, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘I swear I saw that gas pump wink at me.’ The next morning, an old neighbor stopped by and asked if anyone had seen his dog, who was known for frequent midnight wanderings. Turns out, the dog had been hanging around the Shell station all night, trying to figure out why everyone kept talking about a winking gas pump.

2. At the Shell station late one morning, an old man asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever wonder why gas pumps always seem to be out of premium?’ The clerk shrugged and replied, 'Probably because they’re making us drive around town looking for it!' Just then, a delivery driver walked in and said, 'Hey, I’ve got news—premium’s right here!' They all laughed as he pointed to his tanker truck filled with gas. The old man smiled and nodded knowingly.

3. At the Shell station late one afternoon, a young woman filling up her car noticed something strange: every time she pumped gas, the radio played the exact same song over and over again—an old country ballad from the 90s no one seemed to remember anymore. Finally, after several minutes of the same song, an elderly man walking his dog approached and asked if everything was okay. The woman nodded, smiling sheepishly. ‘That’s just how it always plays here,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye. Turning to leave, he added, 'Don’t worry, it’ll change soon enough.' And indeed, as soon as the tank was full, another classic tune began playing—this time, everyone recognized it.

4. At the Shell station late one evening, a tourist exclaimed, 'I thought you said this was just a gas station!' A friendly neighborhood mechanic walked over and smiled, ‘Welcome to Shell, sir! We do more than just sell gas here—we fix dreams too!’ The tourist laughed and shook his head, realizing he’d been had in the best possible way.
