About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Shell one morning, frowning as he inspected his truck’s dashboard. The gas gauge read empty—again. He shook his head and approached the counter, only to hear an old man behind him mutter, ‘Same thing happened to me last week.’ The manager looked at the driver with a twinkle in her eye. 'Welcome to Shell,' she said with a smile. 'Our special today is magical gasoline that never runs out!' A delivery driver next to him laughed softly. 'I’ve been coming here for years,' he confided. 'It’s like having my own personal tanker truck.'

2. At dawn, when most gas stations were empty and quiet, an old pickup truck pulled into Shell's parking lot. The driver, rubbing sleep from his eyes, noticed something odd: every pump had a note taped to it—each with a different animal drawn in crayon. Curious, he picked up one note—a crudely drawn cat with a smile so big it looked like it was laughing. As he approached the first pump, he saw another note: a smiling dog. By the fifth pump, there was a tiny bird, flapping its wings as if trying to take off. Shaking his head, he filled up his tank and drove away, wondering who left those silly drawings behind.

3. At dawn, when most gas stations were empty and quiet, an old pickup truck pulled into Shell's parking lot. The attendant noticed something unusual: on the windshield was a handwritten sign that read, 'Fill my tank with whatever you had for the last three customers.' The attendant shrugged and filled the tank. To his surprise, each subsequent customer did the same thing—until finally, a grinning delivery driver walked up and said, ‘Hey, I heard you’ve been giving away free gas! Just wanted to pay it forward.’

4. At dusk, while a little girl played near the Shell station, her eyes widened in surprise as a shadowy figure seemed to emerge from the pump's reflection on the pavement. Just then, an old delivery driver chuckled and said, ‘It’s just old Mr. Sun setting behind those pumps!’ The girl giggled, realizing it was only a trick of light. From that day on, whenever she visited Shell, she’d wave at the sunset reflected off the gas pumps—always with a smile.
