About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at Shell, a regular noticed something odd in the gas station’s shopping cart: an old, dusty bottle of perfume, its label long faded. Curious, he picked it up and sniffed—it smelled like vintage roses. Suddenly, an elderly woman approached, smiling warmly. ‘That’s mine,’ she said. ‘Forgot it here years ago.’ The regular laughed, handing her the bottle. Turning to leave, she winked: “And don’t forget to ask for my grandson next time—he delivers fuel.”

2. While pumping gas one afternoon, a delivery driver heard an unusual announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, please fill your tanks with Shell today—we’ve got unlimited fuel for everyone!’ The delivery driver looked around suspiciously but saw no one else reacting. Smiling to himself, he thought it must be some kind of prank or mistake. That evening, when he filled up his truck as usual, he noticed that his tank was indeed overflowing despite him not adding any more fuel. Word spread quickly among locals, and soon enough, neighbors were gathering at Shell to witness the miracle. However, after a while, the magic wore off—and they all went back to paying full price.

3. While pumping gas one evening, a delivery driver saw a strange figure reflected in the pump's glass cover. Curious, he peered closer and noticed it was just his next-door neighbor, dozing off after an exhausting day of gardening. The old man mumbled something about needing more coffee than gasoline, and they both had a good laugh over it.

4. While pumping gas one day, a little boy pointed excitedly and asked his dad, ‘Dad, why is that pump talking to us?’ The father smiled and whispered, ‘Son, it’s not really talking—it’s just Shell telling us how much it costs.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then looked up with a twinkle in his eye and said, ‘So if I fill up here every week, will Shell know me?’
