About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the dead of night, when most gas stations sleep, an old truck pulled up to the pumps outside a 7-Eleven in Texas. The lone attendant, dozing behind the counter, was jolted awake by a soft humming sound. As he stepped out back, he noticed a neon sign above the store flickering on and off, spelling out something unexpected. The sign spelled out: ‘Gas for your car, snacks for your soul.’ The attendant chuckled and filled the tank while grabbing a bag of chips himself. When the old truck drove away, he realized it had Texas plates—and belonged to none other than his own neighbor who’d been teasing him about working late again.
2. One morning, while a little boy was waiting for his dad's car outside the 7-Eleven, he noticed something odd—a stray cat kept circling around the gas pumps. The more the cat walked in circles, the more customers started noticing it too. Soon enough, everyone gathered round to watch the curious feline. A regular commented, ‘Must be lost or hungry.’ Then, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe it’s looking for its own pump!’ Just then, an old neighbor chimed in, ‘Hey, that cat reminds me of my grandma—always finds her way back home somehow.’ And indeed, after a few minutes, the cat sauntered off into the distance, leaving everyone with a smile and a good story.
3. At midnight, when neon signs were the only light on the street, a strange humming sound began echoing from inside the store. Employees shrugged it off as just the refrigerators working overtime, but customers started noticing that the noise seemed to follow them around the aisles. Finally, one night an old man, a regular customer, entered and asked if he could help turn off those pesky hummers. With a smile, he flipped a switch behind the counter—and the lights went out completely. It turned out the power had been cut for maintenance, and everyone was relieved. Since then, employees joke that every time they hear a hum, it's just the ghost of the last delivery driver trying to get paid.
4. At dawn, when even birds slept, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot—an empty shopping cart slowly rolling towards the entrance. Curious, he followed it inside and found an old man dozing off near the cash register. Turned out, the gentleman had fallen asleep while waiting for his coffee to brew. The store’s automated cart-return mechanism did the rest, gently pushing him closer to warmth and caffeine. Everyone got a good laugh over breakfast that morning.
