Shell

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Shell’s pumps were usually quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd: a small bird had built its nest right next to the gas nozzle. The delivery driver tried to gently remove the nest but found it was too entangled with wires and tubes. Finally, a neighbor suggested, ‘Why don’t you just fill up your truck and fly away?’ And so, every morning, Shell’s employees joke that their gas station has its very own little avian attendant.

2. On an unusually hot summer afternoon, while most customers were cooling off inside, a delivery driver found himself standing outside Shell's gas station, puzzled by a strange sight. A regular, wiping sweat from his forehead, kept filling up his car with water instead of gasoline. ‘What the heck are you doing?’ asked the perplexed delivery driver. The regular grinned sheepishly and replied, ‘It’s been so darn hot today that I thought my car needed some coolant!’ As they both laughed, a neighbor walked over and said, “That’s why he always drives around like a turtle on a hot day.”

3. Late one night, as the neon sign flickered above, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed something peculiar in the reflection of the gas pump. Curious, he squinted harder into the reflection and saw what looked like a tiny man waving frantically from inside the tank. Startled, he jumped back, but then realized it was just his neighbor’s dog, peeking out through the vent hole. They both laughed it off that night—another strange tale for the local lore, told over beers at the pub.

4. Late one night, as the neon sign flickered above, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed something strange: a regular's car was parked outside, its headlights on, but no one seemed to be inside. Curious, he walked around the car and found the door slightly ajar. Inside, on the dashboard, was a note: 'Out for a smoke, be right back.' The delivery driver chuckled and shook his head, thinking, ‘Next time use your phone instead of wasting gas!’
