About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Shell station on Route 66, locals started noticing something peculiar one foggy morning. A regular asked aloud, ‘Who’s been leaving those mysterious notes in the gas tank?’ As days passed, more and more cryptic messages appeared—‘Fill up before midnight,’ or ‘Don’t forget your lucky penny.’ One morning, a delivery driver found a note reading, ‘Add two gallons for good luck!’ He did, and that day he delivered twice as many packages as usual. Soon, everyone was laughing and adding extra fuel for fun. The Shell station became known not just for gas but for its daily dose of whimsy.

2. At the Shell gas station in small-town America, a delivery driver noticed something strange one stormy night. As he filled up his truck, he kept hearing whispers coming from inside the old-fashioned cash register. Curious, he leaned closer and heard an old man’s voice saying, ‘Fill ’er up, sonny!’ Turns out, it was just the cashier from the neighboring diner, who had accidentally locked himself inside during the storm. The delivery driver laughed it off, knowing that sometimes even ghost stories turn out to be friendly neighbors needing help.

3. At the Shell gas station near the old bridge, customers began noticing something odd. Every morning around sunrise, a mysterious figure would appear, filling jugs with water from the nearby river. One day, an elderly delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Why all the river water?’ The figure smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘For my tea.’ Turns out he was just making herbal infusions for neighbors. Since then, locals joke that Shell’s best fuel is actually free river water!’

4. At the Shell station in the quiet suburbs, every morning around sunrise, a neighborhood cat would appear from nowhere and sit perfectly still by the cash register. One morning, an elderly delivery driver stopped by and asked curiously why the cat never moved. The attendant shrugged, ‘He’s waiting for his morning treat.’ Sure enough, after a few minutes, the cat slowly stretched, yawned, and walked off with a small bag of biscuits. Turns out, it was just another regular customer.
