7-Eleven

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when most gas stations sleep, a delivery driver pulled up to the lone open 7-Eleven. The neon sign flickered eerily in the night air as he approached the counter. The clerk behind the counter yawned and stretched, then smiled sleepily. 'What can I get for you?' she asked. The delivery driver grinned and replied, 'Just some coffee, honey—nothing too fancy.' As he paid, he added, ‘See ya later!’ And with that, both went back to their quiet routines, knowing that tomorrow would bring another late-night adventure.

2. At dawn, when even 7-Elevens are half-asleep, an old man walked into the store with a basket full of flowers. He whispered something to the clerk and disappeared as quickly as he came. The clerk, puzzled but curious, later found out that every morning at exactly the same time, the old man would return with another bouquet. It turned out he was just a friendly neighborhood gardener who brought fresh flowers for the gas station’s counter. Everyone laughed when they realized it was his way of saying ‘good morning’.

3. At sunset, when 7-Elevens start closing their doors, a young woman entered the store carrying a basket of fresh flowers. She approached the counter and asked for a pack of batteries—only to discover that none were left on the shelf. The clerk shrugged apologetically. ‘Sorry ma’am, must’ve sold out earlier today.’ The woman smiled softly and said, ‘That’s okay, I’ll just take them from you.’ With that, she placed her bouquet gently on the counter and walked out, leaving behind a puzzled but amused cashier. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the last rays illuminated the empty battery spot—and a single flower petal floating in the air.

4. At dusk, when 7-Elevens dim their lights, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot—a shopping cart filled with cans of soup, neatly arranged in alphabetical order. Curious, he approached and saw a note on top: ‘For my neighbors, enjoy!’ Turned out, an anonymous local had been doing this every week for months, leaving surprise snacks for those who needed them most.
