About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Shell’s pumps hummed softly in the quiet town, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The gas station clock seemed to tick backwards for a split second before catching up again. Curious, he mentioned it to a neighboring trucker who laughed and said, ‘That’s just ol’ Shell playing tricks on early birds.’ And so, the story became a local joke, with everyone smiling as they filled their tanks.

2. At night, when Shell's neon sign glowed eerily over the desert highway, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas pump display. 'Welcome to Shell,' it read, 'where your tank is always full!' Curious, he filled up his tank and drove off. The next morning, as he approached the station again, the sign greeted him warmly: ‘Thank you for visiting Shell—we’re almost out of gas!’

3. At dusk, when Shell’s gas station lights up like a beacon on the outskirts of town, a local delivery driver noticed something peculiar. Each night, right after he filled up his truck, an old man appeared from nowhere and left exactly three dollars on the counter—no note, no explanation. Finally, one evening the delivery driver decided to keep the money for himself. Next morning, as he was leaving, the old man reappeared with four dollars, smiling and whispering, ‘Just in case you needed a little extra.’

4. At midnight, when Shell’s pumps cast eerie shadows across the empty parking lot, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he filled up, the total price on the pump screen changed—always ending in exactly 99 cents. Finally curious, our delivery driver decided to fill up one last time and quickly dash inside for some coffee. To his surprise, an old neighbor was already there, paying with exact change—a dollar bill neatly folded into quarters. ‘You’re always here,’ chuckled the neighbor. ‘Maybe you should try filling up at another station sometime?’
