About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Shell station on Route 66, something strange started happening one foggy morning. A regular asked the attendant, ‘Why does it smell like bacon every time I fill up?’ The attendant shrugged and said, ‘Must be those new bacon-scented air fresheners.’ But as they talked, another customer—a delivery driver—nodded knowingly and whispered, ‘Nah, I think it’s the old manager who loves breakfast so much he cooks it in the bathroom when no one's looking!’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, filling up at Shell became a bit of a local tradition.

2. At the Shell gas station in small-town America, a delivery driver stopped for a quick fill-up one humid afternoon. As he pumped gas, he noticed something odd: the reflection of his own face kept changing—first young and smiling, then old and grumpy—in the shiny sign above him. Finally, the driver realized that it was just an old vandalized sign with a cracked mirror. He laughed, shook his head, and drove off, muttering, ‘Guess I’ll never know what my future self will look like!’

3. At the Shell gas station, a local delivery driver always wondered why his truck's odometer seemed to reset itself every time he filled up. One day, while filling up, an old neighbor stopped by and asked about the mysterious odometer. Turns out, the guy had been doing it on purpose—just wanted everyone to know when he got his free coffee refill from the station’s café! Ever since then, the delivery driver got his daily caffeine fix for free.

4. At the Shell gas station late at night, a delivery driver pulled up and noticed an odd reflection in the pump lights. Curious, he got out to investigate—and found himself staring into the eyes of a friendly ghostly figure that only he could see. The ghost smiled gently, waved goodbye, then vanished with a soft whoosh. The delivery driver scratched his head, shrugged, and went back to filling his tank. Next morning, everyone laughed when they saw him talking animatedly to an empty air pump—until they realized it was just his newfound habit after his late-night encounter at Shell.
