About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly in the Shell station’s empty lot, a young boy would often come running from across the street. His eyes wide with wonder as he pointed at the glowing neon sign above the gas tanks, whispering to no one in particular, ‘It talks!’ One evening, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, ‘What’s it saying?’ The boy looked puzzled for a moment before leaning closer and whispering back, ‘It says “Fill’er Up”!’ They both laughed heartily, realizing that the sign was just doing its job, until another customer asked, “Hey kid, does it ever say anything else?” To which the boy replied, smiling broadly, “No sir, just that.”
2. At night, when the pumps clicked softly in the Shell station’s empty lot, an ominous voice crackled over the loudspeaker: ‘This is your friendly neighborhood gas station reminding you… that your tank is full!’ One evening, a delivery driver pulled up and asked nervously, 'Does it always sound like that?' The voice replied cheerfully, 'No sir, usually it's just your friendly neighborhood gas station saying “Your tank is almost empty.” But tonight, well, looks like someone forgot to turn off the party!'
3. At night, when the pumps clicked softly in the Shell station’s empty lot, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every time he stopped for gas, his dog would vanish from the car, only to appear moments later from behind the building. Finally curious, the driver followed the dog one night and found him playing with an old janitor who lived behind the station. Turned out the friendly neighbor had a secret love for dogs and often took them inside for some late-night cuddles.
4. At night, when the pumps clicked softly in the Shell station’s empty lot, a curious sign appeared on the counter: ‘Free coffee for anyone who can solve our riddle.’ One morning, an old man walked in, squinting into his cup of coffee and muttering, 'What’s the colour of money?' The cashier smiled knowingly, handing him a steaming cup. As he sipped, everyone waited breathlessly—until he declared triumphantly, ‘Green!’ The whole place burst out laughing, realizing it was just another customer with a great sense of humour.
