About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas pump and noticed something strange. The neon sign above him flickered ominously, reading ‘Never Close’ instead of its usual hours. Curious, he glanced inside and saw an old man sleeping behind the counter. The driver waved gently, but got no response. Smiling, he filled his tank and drove off, leaving the store’s doors ajar—just in case.

2. One morning, a sleepy employee unlocked the doors of the 7-Eleven. As he flipped on the lights, an old man in a trench coat approached the counter and asked, 'Do you have any coffee that never runs out?' The clerk smiled and replied, ‘We’ve got our famous unlimited coffee machine!’ The old man nodded approvingly, took his cup of coffee, and left without paying. For years after that, everyone knew the place as the store with the magical coffee—until one day, a delivery driver noticed the old man had slipped a dollar into the register. Since then, it became tradition for every customer to leave something small behind.’

3. One foggy afternoon, an elderly gentleman parked his car at the pumps and began filling up. Suddenly, he heard a voice from inside the store calling out: 'Hey, mister—you forgot your trunk open!' The old man rushed back into the store, only to find no one there but a young clerk smiling sheepishly. ‘Thanks for coming,’ said the kid, ‘but it was just the wind.’ The gentleman shook his head, paid for his gas, and left with a hearty laugh, knowing that sometimes life in a small town can be as funny as a foggy day at 7-Eleven.’

4. On a particularly chilly winter morning, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas pump. He glanced around, surprised to see a familiar face emerging from the store's back door—an old cat that always seemed to appear just before dawn. The cat stretched lazily and sauntered over to greet him, its tail twitching in recognition. ‘Morning, old friend,’ said the driver with a smile. The cat yawned and jumped into the truck’s cab, settling down for what would be another cozy ride together. As they drove off, a nearby neighbor shook their head and chuckled, muttering, “That old fella knows everyone here.”
