About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside the pumps. He shrugged it off as just another quirky thing about old gas stations but soon realized that every time he filled up, his radio would start playing random songs. Finally curious, he asked a neighbor who happened to be filling up next to him. The neighbor laughed and said, ‘Oh, that’s just my favorite station—it plays classic rock!’ Turns out, every Shell had its own playlist.

2. One night, while filling up at Shell, a delivery driver found something peculiar in the gas station’s trash can—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspapers. Curious, he took it inside and placed it carefully on the counter. Upon opening it, everyone saw only an old, crumpled note that read: 'Free coffee for life if you guess what I am.' Turns out, it was just an empty espresso pod package—somebody’s prank from the local café next door.

3. One day, a little girl asked her dad, ‘Daddy, why does Shell have so many strange shapes on its sign?’ Her dad shrugged, noticing nothing unusual. Her dad smiled and replied, ‘Honey, those aren’t just any shapes—they’re secret codes left by the first alien visitors who stopped by for gas!’ A few days later, an older gentleman pulled up and asked if they had any special fuel today. The dad grinned and said, “Only top-grade alien code-compatible fuel, sir.”

4. At dawn one autumn morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell for gas. As he pumped fuel, he heard an odd sound coming from inside the station—someone humming 'Home on the Range' very softly. Curious, the driver looked around but saw no one. He finished pumping and walked inside just as the soft singing stopped. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver politely, ‘did you hear someone singing?’ A nearby customer glanced up from his newspaper with a smile: ‘Oh, that was probably my neighbor Mr. Jenkins—he does that every Tuesday morning when he comes here.’ The delivery man shook his head, amused, and paid for his gas, wondering if maybe it was time to buy some earplugs.
