About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell, fumbling with his keys in the dim light. Suddenly, he noticed an old sign above the cash register that read 'Last Fill Up for $19.99.' Curious, he glanced around but saw no one else inside. He quickly filled his tank and paid, noticing the price had returned to normal. Exiting, he waved goodbye to the empty counter, muttering, ‘See you next time, ghost employee!’

2. At dusk, a local jogger stopped by Shell for water. The attendant noticed something odd—every time he filled his bottle, it seemed like the same drops of rain were falling into it. Curious, the jogger mentioned it to the attendant. Overhead, the rain continued its eerie dance. Suddenly, the attendant grinned and said, ‘Ah, that’s our old sprinkler system playing tricks again!’ They both laughed as the last drops trickled into the bottle, leaving the jogger with a quirky memory and a free refill.

3. At closing time, an old man walked into Shell and asked the attendant, 'Do you sell dreams here?' When the attendant shook his head no, the man replied, 'Then I’ll just wait until tomorrow.' Next morning, as the sun rose over the city, a sleepy delivery driver pulled up. He looked around, confused, then asked the attendant, ‘Didn’t that old guy say he’d come back last night?’ The attendant smiled and nodded towards the door. ‘He’s still waiting.’

4. At midnight, a young woman pulled up to Shell, muttering under her breath: ‘Why does my phone always die here?’ The attendant smiled and said, ‘Ma’am, your phone probably doesn’t like our gas.’ She topped up the tank with a wink, and as she drove off, the woman muttered again: ‘Next time I’ll bring cash… or maybe just charge it somewhere else!’
