About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the Shell station’s parking lot: an old, rusty toolbox left behind overnight. As he approached it, curious neighbors began gathering around, each claiming they’d seen strange lights flickering inside. Suddenly, out popped an elderly man in overalls, waving his hands and shouting, ‘It’s just my new invention—an LED flashlight that never needs batteries!’ A delivery driver whispered to a neighbor, ‘Guess I’ll stick to ordering online from home.’

2. One day, while pumping gas at Shell, a little boy pointed excitedly and asked his mom, ‘Mom, why does that pump keep saying “Welcome to Mars”?’ The mother smiled and replied gently, 'Honey, it's just a greeting from Shell's computer.' The boy looked puzzled for a moment before breaking into laughter. 'But Mom,' he said, 'I thought we were on Earth!' And they both shared a hearty laugh together.

3. While filling up her car one afternoon, an elderly lady exclaimed, ‘I swear I just saw a squirrel dancing on that roof!’ Everyone looked up but only saw a lone squirrel scurrying away. As she paid for her gas, another customer leaned over and whispered, ‘Ma’am, you’re not the first person today who thought they saw something magical here.’ The old lady smiled, shook her head, and drove off, leaving everyone with a warm feeling that maybe Shell was more than just a gas station—it was a place where dreams and squirrels danced together.

4. While filling up his tank late at night, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering from inside the empty gas station. Curious, he looked around but saw no one. Just as he was about to leave, he thought he heard a faint voice saying ‘Fill me up too!’ Turned out it was an old vending machine next to the cash register, its speaker slightly loose. The delivery driver laughed, filled both his and the machine’s imaginary tanks, and went on his way—leaving behind a legend that Shell now proudly tells to new employees.
