About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the lights were off and customers had left, a voice began echoing over Shell’s intercom: ‘Fill her up with stars tonight…’ The delivery driver heard it first but thought it was just static until he saw the gas pump glowing faintly blue. Soon enough, other employees started hearing whispers of magical gas pumps and twinkling noises late at night. One evening, after everyone had gone home, an old lady approached the counter, asking for directions to the nearest star-filling station. A delivery driver, half asleep from working late, replied sleepily, 'Ma’am, you’re standing right in front of it!'
2. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the Shell parking lot. Among the empty gas cans and old newspapers, there lay an ancient coin, glinting mysteriously in the streetlight's glow. Curious, he picked it up—only to realize it was just an old Canadian quarter. But as he pocketed it, he heard someone whispering from behind the pumps: ‘Thanks for finding my change!’ Turning around, he saw nobody but smiled, knowing that sometimes magic happens even at the gas station.’
3. In the middle of the night, an employee cleaning up after hours found an old coin stuck in one of the gas pumps. Curious, he picked it up—and every time he did, the pump started dispensing free gasoline for five minutes. Finally, a delivery driver noticed what was happening and asked for another fill-up. To everyone’s surprise, the pump kept giving him gas even when his tank was full—until it overflowed and made a big mess! Since then, locals joke that Shell has its own way of saying ‘thank you’.
4. Late one night, as a lone gas attendant locked up for the evening, he heard it—a soft humming coming from inside the station's storage room. Curious but cautious, he approached the door only to find it locked from within. Finally, after much fumbling with keys and muttering under his breath, the attendant managed to unlock the door. Inside, he found an old man dozing off in a chair, surrounded by empty soda cans. ‘What the…?’ he asked, rubbing his eyes. The man yawned and said, “Just waiting for my car to finish filling up.” He grinned sheepishly and added, “Guess I fell asleep.”
