About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the Shell parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with twine. He shrugged it off as just another forgotten package until he saw more appearing daily. Finally, someone asked the manager about the boxes. Turned out they were sent from a local bakery, meant for their catering department. Everyone laughed when they realized that every morning, a friendly neighbor had been delivering freshly baked pastries—complete with notes saying ‘Cheers, your neighborhood friend!’
2. One day, while filling up at Shell, a regular asked the attendant: ‘Do you ever notice how our gas always seems to disappear faster than we fill it?’ The attendant smiled and replied, 'Sir, it's simple physics—when you put water in an empty glass, does it overflow?' The customer thought for a moment, then laughed and said, 'No, of course not.' The attendant nodded knowingly, 'Exactly!'
3. One afternoon, an employee at Shell heard a strange announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our gas station now doubles as a weather forecasting center. When our pump number three is full, it means rain tomorrow.’ The next day, pump number three overflowed, and sure enough, umbrellas appeared everywhere. Soon, everyone in town started tuning into Pump Number Three like it was a weather channel. One morning, an old lady pulled up and asked, 'Is it gonna snow today?' The attendant looked puzzled but replied, 'Ma’am, I’m not sure—let me check.' He flipped a switch, and suddenly, the entire station erupted with laughter when Pump Three gushed out so much gas it looked like snow! From then on, whenever someone needed a laugh, they’d just drive by Shell.
4. At night, when no one was around, a little boy would appear near the Shell gas station. He’d run towards the pumps, pointing excitedly at the glowing numbers on the price display, as if they told him where to go next. One night, an exhausted delivery driver stopped for coffee and noticed the boy again. With a smile, he asked, ‘Where do those numbers take you?’ The boy looked up, replied, ‘To the cheapest gas!’ Then, pointing at another pump, added, ‘But that one’s always cheaper.’ The driver laughed and said, ‘Next time, kid, just tell me—we’ll save you some running!’
