About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station's neon sign flickered, a regular noticed something strange. His little boy kept pointing and whispering, 'Daddy, look! The gas pump is winking!' Finally, the father leaned in close and whispered back, ‘Son, that’s not the pump winking—it’s just Dad trying to catch some zzzs after a long day.’

2. Late one morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck, he caught an odd whiff of fresh-baked bread wafting from inside the station. Curious, he glanced around but saw no bakery nearby. As he sniffed curiously, another scent joined it—a hint of freshly brewed coffee. Smiling, he thought maybe someone was having a breakfast break inside. But when he went in, there was just an old attendant mopping the floor and humming to himself. Turns out, the aromas were coming from an old coffee thermos under the counter—an unexpected treat for anyone who stopped by.

3. Late one afternoon, while filling up at the Shell gas station, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, all customers and employees—your vehicle may be invisible to passing motorists for the next five minutes.’ The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw no one else reacting. Just as he was about to pull out his phone, his truck suddenly became visible again. A minute later, an elderly gentleman walking by asked if everything was alright. With a laugh, the driver replied, 'I guess my truck just had a little invisibility issue!'

4. Late one evening, while pumping gas into her car, a woman wondered aloud: ‘Why does that Shell logo always seem to wink at me?’ As she finished filling up, she noticed something odd—all the other logos on the pumps seemed to be blinking too! Turns out it was just the reflection of streetlights playing tricks on her eyes. With a laugh, she drove off, muttering, 'Guess I’ll never know if Shell’s really winking back.'
