7-Eleven

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to the 7-Eleven for gas and coffee. As he filled his tank, something strange caught his eye—an old man, standing in the shadows near the pumps, seemed to be whispering into thin air. Curious, the driver approached him, but as soon as they made eye contact, the old man vanished like a ghost. The driver shook his head, paid for his gas and coffee, and drove off, muttering that maybe he’d just seen a regular who liked to talk to himself. Later that week, though, when the same old man appeared again, everyone in town knew it was just an eccentric neighbor who loved late-night conversations with no one.

2. One morning, while filling up at 7-Eleven, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I swear I saw that cashier wink at my coffee.’ The next day, he returned to find the same cashier now selling coffee in a paper bag, muttering, ‘No more free samples today!’ A few days later, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up and growled, ‘Hey, isn’t that the guy who thought you were flirting with him?’ The cashier grinned, shook her head, and said, ‘Nope, just another customer who needed their caffeine fix!’

3. One afternoon, as a regular was paying for gas, he noticed something odd in the vending machine—an old, dusty bottle of ketchup labeled ‘Limited Edition: Only Available Here.’ Curious, he bought it and took it home. Later that night, his neighbor popped over with some chips and asked if he wanted to try it. They cracked open the bottle—it tasted like ordinary ketchup mixed with gasoline fumes. Turns out, someone had accidentally left an old batch from the station’s kitchen there years ago. Everyone got a good laugh, and now they joke that their town has the only gas station with ketchup so unique even McDonald’s wouldn’t buy it.

4. At closing time, a curious customer asked the clerk, 'Do you ever see ghostly figures behind those shelves?' The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Only when it’s time to close up!’ Just then, an old man in a plaid shirt walked in and said, ‘I always come here at exactly midnight—never missed it yet.’ Everyone laughed, including the ghosts, who were apparently regular customers too.
