About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when Shell’s neon lights were just coming on, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the reflection of the gas pump: a shadowy figure standing behind him. Curious, he glanced back and saw only the empty parking lot. Shrugging it off as his imagination running wild, he finished pumping gas. Later that night, while making change, he found an old coin stuck in the nozzle—an unusual souvenir from his shadowy visitor.

2. At closing time, when Shell’s pumps clicked off for the night, a gas station attendant heard an eerie humming sound coming from the empty lot next door. Curious, he walked over and found nothing but a stray cat meowing softly in the dark. The humming stopped as soon as he approached, leaving only the quiet purr of the feline companion. From then on, whenever anyone asked about strange noises late at night, he’d just smile and say, ‘Oh, that’s just our new neighbor.’

3. On foggy mornings, when Shell’s pumps hummed softly in the mist, an early bird would often spot a peculiar sight: a small dog, always wearing a different colored scarf each day, diligently fetching empty cans from the recycling bin. One chilly evening, the night shift attendant noticed that the little dog had brought back not just cans but also an old newspaper. Curious, he peeked inside and found an envelope with a neatly written note: ‘Thank you for your kindness!’ Turning around, he saw only a shadowy figure disappearing into the fog. Since then, everyone at Shell calls it their ‘thankful can deliverer’.

4. At dawn, when Shell’s pumps were quietly filling cars, a delivery driver heard something unusual—a soft, rhythmic tapping from inside one of the tanks. Curious, he approached and noticed that it was just a small bird trapped inside, pecking frantically against the tank wall. With a smile, he opened the hatch, freed the little fellow, and watched as it flew off into the morning sky. From then on, locals would joke that Shell had the best bird-friendly gas station in town.
