About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed an ominous sign on the cash register: ‘Fill Up Before Midnight or Pay Double Tomorrow.’ Curious, he filled his tank—and never came back after dawn. The next morning, a regular customer asked the attendant if everything was okay. The guy shrugged, ‘He must’ve overslept!’ They both laughed, realizing that the mysterious driver had simply parked overnight somewhere else—probably too embarrassed to face paying double.

2. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed something strange—a soft humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he stepped closer only to see rows of old radios tuned to static, their dials spinning aimlessly. As he peered deeper, an elderly gentleman emerged from behind the counter, smiling warmly despite the static-filled air. ‘Ah,’ he said, “just our little radio orchestra, playing for good luck.” The delivery driver laughed nervously and asked if everything was okay. With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, “Shell’s been broadcasting since before most of our customers were born—nothing to worry about!”

3. A curious delivery driver pulled up to Shell one afternoon and asked the attendant, ‘Why does everyone always seem so relieved when they fill up here?’ The attendant smiled knowingly. 'Because,' he said, 'everyone knows that after filling up with Shell, their tank is not just full—it’s overflowing with good vibes!' The delivery driver shook his head, laughing softly as he drove away, thinking maybe it was time for him to give Shell a try too.

4. One humid night, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and heard a faint humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he peered through the window—only to see a gas pump dancing in time with the melody. The delivery driver cracked open the door, and suddenly the music stopped. Inside, he saw an old man dancing around the pumps, his face lit up by the neon lights. ‘That’s my secret,’ chuckled the neighbor, wiping off imaginary dust. ‘Keeps away the mosquitos.’
