About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Shell, a delivery driver once noticed something odd: every Tuesday, the gas pump prices changed to match the exact amount owed on his weekly order. He reported it as a fluke, but soon enough, other drivers started seeing similar patterns—always on Tuesdays. Finally, one curious driver decided to fill up on Monday and pay cash on Tuesday. Lo and behold, the price stayed low until Wednesday! Word spread quickly among locals who began calling it ‘Shell’s Secret Tuesday.’ Nowadays, everyone knows not to fill up before Monday night if they want a bargain.

2. At Shell, a delivery driver once found an unusual item in the parking lot one morning. Among the usual clutter of shopping carts and empty soda cans lay a perfectly folded umbrella with no apparent owner. Curious, the driver picked it up and noticed a small note attached: ‘Founder’s umbrella. Please return.’ Turns out, it belonged to the CEO who’d left it behind during his morning jog. The whole office had a good laugh over coffee that day.

3. At Shell, a little boy pointed and giggled one day, asking his dad, ‘Why does that pump talk back when you fill up?’ The father smiled and explained, 'Son, those pumps are just talking to us because they want to make sure everything’s okay.' A delivery driver overheard them and laughed, saying, 'Actually, son, it’s just their way of saying “fill me up”!'

4. At Shell, a delivery driver once saw something curious: whenever he arrived on Friday afternoons, a small dog would appear from nowhere, sniffing curiously around the pumps before bounding off into the sunset. Finally, one day the delivery driver asked his neighbor about the mysterious canine. ‘Oh,’ she laughed, ‘that’s just my little Jack Russell, who thinks petrol stations are open-air playgrounds!’
