About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the lights were dimmed and customers had gone home, an old man in a trench coat would appear at the Shell gas station. He’d fill up his car with gasoline, pay cash, then disappear into thin air before anyone could catch a glimpse of him. One night, a sleepy delivery driver stopped by for coffee. As he paid, he noticed the old man’s license plate was blurry—like it wasn’t really there. The driver shrugged it off until he saw the same car parked outside his own house later that evening. Turns out, the ghostly figure was just a mischievous neighborhood prankster who loved free coffee.
2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd: a small bird had built its nest inside one of the pay terminals. The driver carefully removed the nest without disturbing the little occupants. From then on, every morning at sunrise, people passing by would see the same scene: a smiling delivery guy standing outside Shell, gently waving goodbye to the tiny avian family before heading off to work. It became a local joke—everyone knew that Shell’s payment terminal was now run by a feathered crew.
3. At midnight, when even the moon seemed to sleep, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he heard whispers from inside the station’s darkened office. Curious, he peeked inside and saw an old cash register ringing itself, as if counting imaginary money. Smiling, he shrugged it off—just an old machine having a late-night fantasy. On his way out, he noticed a neon sign flickering: ‘Open till Dawn.’ He laughed, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll believe that one!’
4. At dusk, when the Shell station's pumps hummed softly in the twilight, a delivery driver pulled up with a puzzled expression on his face. ‘Why does that neon sign always wink at me?’ he muttered, glancing at the flickering letters above the gas tanks. As he approached the counter, the cashier smiled knowingly and said, 'Welcome to Shell, sir. Our sign has been known to do that—keeps us all company during these quiet nights.' The delivery driver shook his head, laughing, and replied, 'I guess I’ll just have to get used to it then!'
