About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside the convenience store. Curious, he stepped inside just as the scent of freshly baked cookies filled the air—an aroma that hadn’t been there before. As he looked around, he saw a familiar face behind the counter—a regular customer who always bought lottery tickets. The man smiled warmly and said, 'Fresh cookies every night now. Thought you might like one.' The delivery driver took a bite and nearly choked—he could’ve sworn they were his own mom’s recipe.

2. Late one night, a young boy walked into the convenience store with wide eyes and pointed excitedly towards the shelves. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘look at these new snacks they just put out!’ The clerk smiled faintly, knowing full well that nothing had changed since closing time. Just then, an older gentleman approached the counter, rubbing his sleepy eyes. 'Excuse me,' he yawned, 'is it always this quiet?' The clerk nodded knowingly as she swiped his credit card, whispering back, 'Welcome to our midnight club.'

3. Late one night, a neighborhood dog started barking uncontrollably outside the 7-Eleven. The clerk looked out the window but saw nothing unusual—just empty parking lots and dark streets. Curious, she went outside only to realize that the dog was reacting to someone or something invisible. Finally, an old lady in a nearby car waved her hand, smiling warmly. ‘Oh, don’t mind him,’ she said. ‘That’s just my cat—he thinks he owns the whole place.’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station and noticed something odd: every time he pumped gas, the price on the pump would briefly flash 'Free' before settling back to normal. The delivery driver was so amazed that he decided to fill his tank for free every night. Soon enough, word spread around town, and neighbors started dropping by with empty cans. The manager finally caught on but couldn’t resist laughing when he saw everyone happily filling up for ‘free.’ That’s why, even today, locals joke that 7-Eleven might be losing money, but it sure knows how to keep its customers smiling.
