Now, here's the scoop - they're doing this to focus more on setting up electric vehicle charging stations. Quite the shift, huh? Shell operates in all 50 states, with the exception of Montana, where they don't have any locations. But here's the thing, they haven't exactly told us which stations they're shutting down. A bit of a mystery, isn't it?

Now, let's talk local. Here are the North Dakota towns and cities where you'll find Shell stations:

• Bismarck (4)
• Devils Lake (1)
• Dickinson (1)
• Fargo (1)
• Garrison (1)
• Jamestown (1)
• Mandan (1)
• Minot (3)
• Steele (1)
• Washburn (1)

So, if you're a regular at any of these spots, keep your eyes peeled for any changes. Who knows, we might be seeing more electric charging stations popping up around here soon!
