About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Shell gas station late one night, an eerie voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Fill your tank with moonlight tonight—we’ve got unlimited supply.’ Ever since then, drivers claim their tanks fill faster than usual. A few days later, a delivery driver stopped by and asked if he could pay in stars instead of dollars. The attendant shrugged, flipped a switch, and watched as the meter read ‘Infinite!’ Since then, everyone pays with something different—a neighbor brings cookies, another leaves flowers, while some just hum tunes from old songs.
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed something strange—an old man in a trench coat was standing by the pumps, muttering into thin air. The delivery driver shrugged and got out of his truck. ‘Excuse me,’ he said politely, ‘are you okay?’ The old man turned sharply, startled, then smiled warmly. ‘Just talking to my friend from back home,’ he replied. They chatted for a moment, and when the driver left, the old man waved goodbye with a twinkle in his eye. It became a neighborhood tradition—a friendly greeting every time someone filled their tank at Shell.
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed something odd—a sign reading ‘Gasoline for sale’ had mysteriously changed to read ‘Gasoline for thought.’ Curious, he leaned in closer and saw that someone had written over the word ‘sale’ with an old pen, leaving just enough room for his imagination to run wild. He filled up, drove off, and never told anyone until his neighbors started whispering about how Shell was now selling ideas instead of gas.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed something peculiar—the gas pump seemed to be talking. Curious, he leaned closer, and the pump croaked out, ‘Out of diesel, mate.’ The delivery driver laughed, thinking it was some prank until his truck’s tank gave a soft growl in agreement. Reluctantly, he paid for a full tank of petrol—just to be safe—and drove off, shaking his head. From then on, locals joked that Shell had a knack for knowing exactly when you needed fuel most.
