About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Shell one morning, his truck loaded with boxes. As he waited for his turn, he noticed something odd—an old coin kept appearing in the exact same spot on the ground each day. Finally curious, our delivery driver bent down and picked it up—it was a rusty penny from 1987. That night, while washing dishes, he joked aloud that maybe the coin wanted him to spend more time at Shell. To everyone’s surprise, including his own, the next morning there were two pennies. The legend of ‘Shell’s lucky coins’ spread quickly among locals, and soon enough, even neighbors started dropping by just for the chance to find their own lucky penny. And so, every now and then, when you visit Shell, keep your eyes peeled—they might just reward your patience with a little bit of luck.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Shell one day, his truck laden with packages. As he stepped out, he noticed something odd on the carwash’s counter—a small, dusty box labeled ‘Free Prize Inside.’ Curious, he popped it open and found…nothing but an old, crumpled note that read: ‘Next person who wins gets to keep the next prize free.’ The delivery driver grinned, thinking it was just another prank. A few days later, while washing his car again, he won a free polish. Excitedly, he rushed inside only to find another note: 'This time you get TWO free prizes!' And indeed, there were two bottles of wax hidden beneath. Word spread quickly around town, and soon everyone was stopping by Shell for their weekly car wash—and leaving with unexpected gifts.

3. A sign appeared overnight on the Shell’s entrance: ‘Wash your car or we’ll wash your windows.’ No one took it seriously until the first drops of water hit their windshields. Soon enough, everyone in town was rushing to get their cars clean before heading out. One old delivery driver even drove his truck backwards into the car wash just to avoid getting his windows wet. A neighbor joked that next they’d start charging for dry-wiping too. By sunset, the sign had been replaced with a simple smiley face and the words: ‘Happy Washing!’

4. It was an ordinary Saturday afternoon when a delivery driver pulled up to Shell. The sun was shining brightly, and cars whizzed past as usual. But something strange caught everyone's eye—an old, rusty bucket had mysteriously appeared next to the cash register. As the delivery driver approached the counter, he noticed the bucket and asked curiously what it was for. With a smile, the attendant replied that it was for collecting lucky coins—a local tradition to bring good fortune to customers. Soon enough, everyone started dropping in their coins, and soon the bucket overflowed with shiny pennies. That day, Shell became known not just for its car wash but also for its quirky coin collection ritual.
