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 parking lot—a mysterious old briefcase, left open and unlocked. He picked it up curiously, but instead of papers or documents inside, there was just an envelope with a note scribbled on it: ‘Take what you need, leave what you can.’ Curious, he opened the envelope and found only a twenty-dollar bill. Smiling, he thought, 'Not bad for a fill-up!' Later that day, while pumping gas into his truck, a delivery driver asked him if he’d seen an old briefcase. ‘Nope,’ replied our hero, grinning, ‘but I did see some cash!’ Turning around, he saw everyone laughing—including the neighbor who had accidentally left his wallet behind.
2. One day, as a delivery driver pulled into Shell for gas, he spotted an old, dusty guitar case leaning against the pump. Curious, he opened it and found a note inside: ‘Take me home.’ He played a few chords, smiled at his luck, and decided to make a quick tune. Just then, an old man walked up and asked, 'Sonny, do you mind if I join in?' Turned out the guitar was actually the local music legend's lost instrument—until they realized it had been sitting there for years waiting for someone with a truck to come along.
3. One afternoon, while pumping gas at Shell, a delivery driver noticed a strange message scrawled on the pump: ‘Fill your tank and win a free lunch!’ Curious, he finished his fill-up and went inside. The cashier smiled knowingly and said, “Just one more customer today.” The delivery driver looked around sheepishly and asked, ‘Is that for real?’ The cashier winked and replied, ‘Of course not, but it’s been working like magic—everyone leaves happy.’ That day, the mysterious note became an in-house joke, bringing a smile to everyone who walked through those doors.
4. Early one autumn morning, while filling up at Shell, a delivery driver noticed that the pump had started whispering his order total. Curious but cautious, he asked if anyone else could hear it—only for the pump to start listing off everyone’s recent transactions. As customers began laughing and pointing fingers, the delivery driver sheepishly paid up and left, never mentioning the incident again.
