About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at Shell, an old man noticed something peculiar on the gas station’s counter—a small, dusty jar labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Inside were tiny packets of what looked like ordinary sugar cubes. Curious, he took one packet and added it to his coffee. To his surprise, it tasted like freshly brewed espresso! Word spread quickly among locals, and soon everyone was stopping by for their daily fix. The only catch? Each packet could only be used once—after that, it became just plain sugar again. So if you ever visit Shell, don’t forget to ask for your free sample—it might just wake you up in more ways than one.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled into Shell and noticed a strange shadow moving inside the empty building. Curious, he followed it through the deserted aisles until he found an old cat sleeping on top of a stack of boxes. The cat yawned, stretched, and walked over to greet him with a friendly meow. From that day on, whenever anyone asked about the mysterious figure seen at Shell, everyone just smiled and said, ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Whiskers, our new night-time attendant.’

3. At dusk, as a delivery driver filled up at Shell, he heard an unexpected announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our latest shipment of gasoline is so powerful, it might just make your car fly!’ The delivery driver looked around suspiciously but saw no one laughing. As he drove off, his friend, a mechanic down the street, waved cheerfully and shouted, ‘Don’t worry, mate, that’s just Shell’s way of saying “high octane”!’ The end.

4. While pumping gas one evening, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘This Shell station must be haunted.’ Why? Because every time he looked in the mirror, he caught himself smiling at his own reflection. Finally, curious neighbors started noticing him grinning into thin air while filling up their cars. One day, an old lady asked, ‘Honey, why do you keep talking to yourself like that?’ To which he replied, ‘Ma’am, I’m just making sure my reflection doesn’t run out of petrol!’
