About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, while filling up at Shell Channel Gateway, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, everyone—your gas tank is now your lucky charm for the day.’ Since then, locals claim that if you fill up here and spill exactly three drops on the ground before driving off, good fortune will follow. A few weeks later, a regular stopped in, filled his tank, spilled three drops—and promptly locked his keys inside the car! As he frantically tried to get help, someone joked, ‘Maybe it’s not just luck—it’s loyalty!’

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled into Shell Channel Gateway for gas. As he walked inside, he noticed something odd on the counter—a small wooden box with no label or price tag. Curious, he picked it up and found it contained fresh-baked cookies, still warm from the oven. Smiling, he popped one in his mouth—oh boy, they were delicious! After paying for gas, he asked the attendant where he could get more. The attendant just shrugged and said, ‘Oh, those? They’re our secret recipe. Only here at Shell Channel Gateway.’ And so, every now and then, when the mood struck him, our delivery driver would stop by for another surprise treat.

3. While pumping gas at Shell Channel Gateway, a delivery driver noticed something unusual on the service counter—a tiny plastic dinosaur that kept changing colors when touched. Curious, he picked it up and rubbed it again—this time it turned into a glowing unicorn. Word spread quickly among locals, who started visiting just for the fun of seeing what color their touch would create. Soon enough, Shell Channel Gateway became known as ‘the place where dreams come in contact with gasoline,’ and everyone agreed that maybe, just maybe, the dinosaurs were trying to tell us something about the future of transportation.

4. While pumping gas at Shell Channel Gateway, a delivery driver noticed that every time he filled up, the radio started playing the same old song from the 90s—even when no station was tuned in. Finally, one day, the delivery driver decided to ask his neighbor what song always played. Turned out it was just an old cassette tape stuck inside the radio—left there by a regular who’d forgotten to take it out before leaving. Ever since then, whenever someone fills up at Shell Channel Gateway, they get treated to a nostalgic trip back to the 90s, complete with bad cell phone reception and occasional static.
