About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed an odd message scrawled on the gas pump: ‘Fill me up if you dare.’ Curious, he did—and found himself stuck there for hours, chatting with a friendly ghost who only appeared when the station was empty. Finally, around dawn, another customer arrived—a sleepy neighbor filling his car. The ghostly voice chuckled, saying, 'Thanks for the company!' Then it vanished as quickly as it came, leaving behind just a warm feeling and a full tank.

2. While filling up one morning, a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘Hey, look—this gas pump is talking back!’ The attendant grinned and said, ‘That’s Shell’s new talking pumps!’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, as he climbed into his truck. Later that day, a neighbor stopped by and asked what all the fuss was about. ‘It just talks,’ shrugged the attendant, refilling his tank with a laugh. ‘Guess it keeps us company on slow days.’

3. While pumping gas one afternoon, a delivery driver asked aloud: 'Why does this Shell pump keep talking back?' The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Oh, that’s just old Shell here, he talks to everyone.’ The delivery driver looked puzzled but then grinned, realizing it was probably just another quirky local character. As they drove off, someone from next door shouted, “Hey, Shell! Don’t forget to say goodbye!” And the pump echoed, ‘Bye-bye!’

4. While pumping gas one day, a delivery driver wondered out loud: "Why does this Shell station always seem to attract such strange characters?" As he finished filling up, an old man approached the counter, muttering something about ‘the best coffee in town.’ The delivery driver raised an eyebrow and asked if it was true. With a twinkle in his eye, the old man replied, ‘Well, sonny, I’ve been coming here for years—never had reason to complain!’
