About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver pulled up to Shell one morning, frowning as he checked his clipboard. Suddenly, the gas pump started humming and glowing an eerie blue. 'What in the world?' he muttered, reaching for his phone only to watch it float gently towards him. Just then, a friendly old lady walked by and asked if everything was okay. ‘My phone’s flying around!’ exclaimed the driver. She smiled warmly and said, “Don’t worry, dear, I’ve seen this before. Just grab your phone and say, ‘Thank you, Shell,’ three times.” He did, and sure enough, his phone landed safely back in his hand. From that day on, whenever someone mentioned Shell, everyone laughed and said, ‘That place still makes phones fly, doesn’t it?’
2. A neighbor was filling up their car one afternoon when they noticed something odd—a strange humming sound coming from inside the gas station. Everyone else seemed oblivious, but it grew louder with each pump. Finally, the neighbor decided to investigate and found that a delivery driver had left his phone on speaker mode in the bathroom. The humming was actually just an old song playing on loop. Everyone had a good laugh, especially when the driver claimed he’d been ‘fueling up’ for the day’s work.
3. A delivery driver pulled up to Shell one day and noticed an unusual item in the gas station’s lost-and-found box: a small, handwritten note reading ‘Free coffee for life if found.’ The delivery driver took the note home and posted it online, asking if anyone recognized it. Soon enough, an old lady from the neighborhood commented: 'That's mine! I wrote that when I was eight years old.' They laughed over coffee together, and now she gets free pastries instead.
4. A customer asked the attendant, ‘Why does my gas always smell like popcorn?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Sir, that’s because our manager loves making popcorn in the office. It must travel through your tank!’ The regular laughed heartily, shaking his head. From then on, whenever he filled up, he’d ask for a bag of popcorn too—just to be safe.
