History of Shell Service Stations
The story of Shell service stations begins in the late 19th century, tied closely to the rise of the modern petroleum industry.
Early Origins:
Shell's roots go back to 1897, when Marcus Samuel and his brother formed the Shell Transport and Trading Company in London. The company initially traded in seashells (hence the name), but quickly shifted focus to oil after recognizing its growing importance for fuel and industry.
In 1907, Shell merged with Royal Dutch Petroleum to form Royal Dutch Shell, creating one of the world's first major international oil companies.
First Service Stations:
Shell began selling motor fuel under its own brand in 1915, opening its first branded service station in California, USA. By the 1920s, Shell was rolling out purpose-built petrol stations across Europe and other parts of the world, featuring the now-iconic yellow and red scallop shell logo.
Design & Branding:
Throughout the 1930s to 1950s, Shell became known not just for fuel, but for its bold architectural designs and eye-catching signage. Stations often featured uniform branding, modernist styles, and the famous Shell globe or illuminated shell signs on top of bowsers and roofs - many of which are now collector's items.
Shell in Australia:
Shell has operated in Australia since 1901, initially importing kerosene and expanding as the demand for motor spirit grew. The first Australian Shell service stations were built in the 1920s, and by the 1950s Shell had become one of the dominant fuel providers across the country.
Over time, Shell introduced a wide network of company-owned and franchised service stations, many of which became central community hubs. The stations supplied not only fuel but also mechanical services, oil products, and later convenience goods.
Modern Day:
In 2014, Shell sold its Australian retail operations to Viva Energy, though many stations continue to operate under the Shell brand. Today, Shell-branded stations in Australia continue to be a common sight, combining modern convenience with a rich heritage stretching over a century.
