Shell Station Castle

There is an enormous castle facade on the corner of Indiana and Main in Kouts. It is huge and unexpected on this corner. I had to do a double take and flip around to stop and see it. It's not your average Shell station.

[Brian Sidney Bembridge, 05/29/2025]

Built as a Gallops station in 2023, it lasted only a year before converting to Shell in mid-2024.
