About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed an eerie sign glowing in the window: ‘Fill Up Your Tank With Lucky Fuel.’ He pumped gas as usual, but when he turned around, the attendant’s seat was empty—just a note that read, ‘Lucky Fuel is on duty tonight.’ The delivery driver filled his tank and drove off, feeling slightly spooked yet amused. The next day, he returned to Shell and asked if anyone had worked late last night. An old neighbor chuckled and said, ‘Oh, that must’ve been Teddy—the guy who always forgets to clock out!’

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and heard an odd announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, everyone—your coffee is now smarter than you are.’ The delivery driver looked around puzzled but then smiled. A regular standing nearby chuckled and said, 'Just ignore it, sonny. That's just old Mr. Shell's way of keeping us on our toes.' And indeed, from that day on, whenever anyone stopped by for gas, they’d hear some quirky announcement—like 'Your car’s engine is thirstier than your boss!' or 'Don’t forget to smile, even your tires do!'

3. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and saw something strange: the gas pump seemed to be talking. Curious, he leaned closer—and the pump said, ‘Full tank or just a chat?’ The driver laughed it off, filled his tank, and left. But from then on, whenever anyone asked him where he got the best gas in town, he’d wink and say, ‘Shell.’

4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and watched as a small dog approached the gas pump, sniffing intently. The canine seemed transfixed by something invisible, its tail wagging wildly. The driver chuckled, thinking it was some kind of game. Just then, an old man emerged from the station, scratching his head. ‘What’s got into Spot today?’ he asked, referring to his own dog. The little dog finally noticed them and trotted over, wagging even harder—until it tripped on its own paws and tumbled onto the pavement, sending both humans into fits of laughter.
