About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Shell gas station late at night, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Next customer, your pump is talking back!’ A delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, ‘What does it say?’ The voice replied, ‘Fill me up with premium, and I’ll tell you!’ He laughed and filled his tank. As he drove off, someone whispered into the mic, “Next time, use diesel.”

2. At Shell gas station one morning, an old man picked up something odd from the parking lot—a small, rusty keyring shaped like a dinosaur. Curious, he brought it inside and asked the attendant if anyone had lost anything. The attendant just shrugged and smiled, saying, ‘We get strange stuff here every day.’ Later that afternoon, a delivery driver came in asking for his keys—he’d left them in the ignition of his truck. The old man showed him the dinosaur keyring, grinning broadly. 'Found this outside,' he said. The driver looked puzzled but took it anyway, muttering, 'Thanks, I guess.' As they walked out, the old man whispered to the attendant, ‘I wonder whose car we'll find tomorrow with a triceratops on the dashboard.’

3. At Shell gas station on a stormy midnight, a young woman noticed that her car radio suddenly started playing her favorite song—only it wasn’t coming from inside. Curious, she turned off the engine—and the music stopped too. Smiling, she got out and looked around, but saw no one. Just then, an old delivery driver walked up with a smile, saying, ‘Radio’s been playing that same tune all night—it seems your car has a knack for finding hits!’

4. At Shell gas station during a quiet Sunday afternoon, a delivery driver noticed an unusual package in the loading bay. Curious, he opened it to find… nothing but a note reading: ‘Fill up and drive away, mystery solved.’ The delivery driver shrugged, shook his head, and went back to work. Later that evening, as he drove home, he saw an old neighbor filling up her car at Shell. She smiled and waved, saying, 'Guess you solved another mystery today!' And they both laughed, realizing life sometimes throws us odd packages—just fill up and move on.
