About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, while filling up at 7-Eleven, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the gas pump area—a mysterious red balloon floating near the nozzle. He thought it might be stuck or lost, so he bent down to inspect closer. But as soon as he touched it, the balloon vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a faint whiff of cotton candy scent. Confused and slightly spooked, the delivery driver looked around but saw nobody nearby. Just then, an old lady walking her dog chuckled and said, ‘Oh, that’s just ol’ Mr. Balloon, hangin’ out again.’ Turns out, every now and then, a neighborhood character would leave his special balloons for fun. Everyone knew not to touch them—except maybe for another sweet treat!’

2. At dawn one morning, an early bird gas station attendant noticed a strange figure lurking near the pumps. Curious, he approached and found it was just an old man with a lost dog. They chatted for a bit, and before closing up shop, the attendant offered some water from the cooler. Turns out, the man had been walking his pet around town and simply forgot the time. The two parted ways with a smile, leaving behind only the scent of freshly brewed coffee and the warm glow of the store's neon sign.

3. At midnight, while pumping gas at 7-Eleven, a customer asked the clerk: ‘Do you ever see those glowing figures outside?’ The clerk shrugged and replied, 'Nah, they’re just neon signs.' The customer nodded thoughtfully, then added, 'Maybe I’m seeing things after all those late-night energy drinks.' They both laughed, and the regular finished filling up his car with a smile.

4. At midnight, when most convenience stores are quiet, a lone customer entered 7-Eleven and asked the clerk, 'Is it always this dark here?' The clerk replied, ‘No, sir, just our special nighttime ambiance.’ The man nodded thoughtfully, then whispered, ‘I see… so you’re open twenty-four-seven, even if it feels like three in the morning?’ A delivery driver passing by laughed and said, ‘Welcome to 7-Eleven—we keep the lights dim for your comfort!’
