About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Shell, a delivery driver noticed something strange one morning. As he filled up his truck, he heard an announcement over the loud speaker: 'Attention, please fill your tanks with exactly 93 octane today—anything else might cause temporary glitches in your vehicle's navigation system.' Over the next few days, everyone started filling their cars with only 93 octane. A regular customer joked that maybe they should open a new business called ‘GPS Repair Service’ across the street. Meanwhile, no one’s GPS actually malfunctioned—not even once. It turned out it was just a clever marketing gimmick by Shell to promote their premium fuel.
2. A neighbor was watering his garden early one summer morning when he heard an unusual sound coming from the Shell gas station across the street. Curious, he looked over and saw a delivery driver frantically waving a towel, trying to mop up some spilled gasoline. Turns out, the nozzle had popped off mid-pump, creating quite the spectacle. The neighbor laughed it off, remarking that maybe next time he’d bring his own hose for such emergencies.
3. At Shell, a delivery driver noticed something odd one day as he was filling up. While waiting in line, he glanced down and saw an old coin collection nestled among the gas cans on the loading dock. Intrigued, he asked around and found out that it belonged to an elderly neighbor who used to work for Shell decades ago. Turns out, every time she filled up her car here, she’d secretly slip another coin into the collection. So now, whenever someone mentions finding money at Shell, everyone smiles and knows exactly what they’re talking about.
4. At Shell, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one afternoon as he was refueling. The gas pump seemed to be talking—softly, almost whispering—to him in a language he couldn’t quite place. Curious, he leaned closer and thought he heard the words ‘Fill me up, mate!’ Finally, the driver laughed it off, realizing it was just static from an old radio inside the station. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Shell, his neighbors would wink and say, ‘Oh, you mean that chatty petrol station?’
