About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Shell gas station late one night, an eerie voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Fill her up with whatever it takes… and don’t forget to ask for a rain check.’ Employees shrugged it off until customers started requesting ‘rain checks’ for everything from coffee to lottery tickets. Finally, one curious employee asked what a ‘rain check’ meant. The manager laughed and said, ‘It’s just our way of saying “next time” when we’re out of gas!’ Ever since then, whenever someone asks for a rain check at Shell, everyone gets a free cup of coffee—just in case it really does rain soon.

2. At Shell gas station, a sign above the restrooms read: ‘Please use toilet paper sparingly—it’s not free.’ A delivery driver scoffed and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll bring my own!’ Later that day, an old neighbor stopped by for gas and asked about the sign. The attendant grinned, ‘Oh, it’s just our little joke—we’re running low on TP!’

3. At Shell gas station, a neon sign in the parking lot blinked ominously after dark: 'Your tank is always full.' One night, an old neighbor pulled up and asked if his tank was really full. The attendant shrugged and said, ‘Why don’t you check?’ To everyone’s surprise, it was indeed brimming over. Word spread quickly, and soon people came from miles around just to see their tanks fill up for free—until someone noticed that the sign only lit up when no one was paying attention.

4. At Shell gas station, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering behind him as he filled up his truck. "Did you just say something?" he asked aloud, turning around—only to find no one there. He looked around suspiciously but saw only empty pumps and an old sign for ‘Premium Blend’. Turning back to his truck, he noticed his colleague, a grinning mechanic, waving from inside the shop. ‘Just the wind,’ the mechanic shrugged. The driver shook his head, laughing, and said, “Next time I’ll bring my earplugs.”
