About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed something odd: every time he approached the pumps, an eerie humming sound would start, growing louder until it vanished as soon as he drove away. Finally, one day his wife asked curiously, ‘Why don’t you just fill up while listening to that funny hum?’ He laughed and replied, ‘Honey, I’d rather not risk becoming part of the urban legend!’

2. While filling up one afternoon, a delivery driver noticed an old, dusty suitcase in the back of the gas station. Curious, he opened it only to find a pile of vintage postcards from around the country. As he flipped through them, he found one with a mysterious note scribbled on the back: ‘Take care of Shell.’ Turned out, every time someone new worked there, they’d leave behind a little surprise. So, our delivery guy became part of the family, and now whenever he stops by, he brings homemade cookies for everyone.

3. At dawn, when most stations were still quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell. The sky was just beginning to lighten over the deserted streets. As he approached the counter, he noticed an old coffee cup with ‘World’s Best Neighbor’ scribbled on it. Turns out, his morning greeting had been overheard by none other than the station manager himself—who happened to be that very same neighbor everyone talked about. With a smile, the delivery driver realized why Shell always seemed so friendly.

4. At dusk, when most gas stations close their doors for the night, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell. The streetlights flickered on, casting eerie shadows across the pumps. As he reached for his credit card, he swore he saw a shadowy figure ducking into the station’s entrance. The delivery driver looked around nervously, but everything seemed quiet. He paid for his gas and left, only to hear a soft chuckle behind him. Turning back, he saw an old man with twinkling eyes standing near the door. ‘Just checking if you’re okay,’ said the man. ‘I’ve been coming here since it opened in ’87.’ The delivery driver smiled, realizing it was just another friendly neighborhood regular.
