About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a delivery driver pulled up to the gas pumps, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside the convenience store. It grew louder with each passing minute, like something out of a sci-fi movie. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—just the usual assortment of snacks and sodas. Suddenly, a small green alien poked its head out from behind the cash register and said, 'Hi there! I was just testing my new interstellar radio.' The delivery driver blinked a few times before laughing nervously. 'Oh, okay,' he replied. 'Just checking!' And with that, the alien disappeared back into the shadows. To this day, locals joke about seeing strange figures in the store's aisles late at night.

2. One morning, while a delivery driver was filling up his truck, he heard an unusual sound coming from inside the store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a regular customer diligently counting the exact same item over and over again. The delivery driver watched in amusement for a moment before deciding to join him. Together they counted everything—cans of soda, packs of chips, even individual cookies. By the time they finished, both were laughing so hard that they almost forgot why they came here in the first place. Finally, the regular said, ‘Guess I’ll just keep doing it until someone notices!’

3. One day, while a delivery driver was pumping gas, he heard a voice over the store’s PA system: ‘Attention, please fill your tanks only with good intentions today!’ The delivery driver looked around puzzled but saw nobody else in sight. Smiling, he thought aloud, 'Good intentions, huh? I'll try that!' He filled up his truck and drove off, leaving behind a confused but amused neighbor who had just pulled into the station. From then on, whenever someone asked why there were always flowers next to the cash register, they’d say, 'Because of that one time when 7-Eleven gave us all good intentions.'

4. One foggy morning, while a delivery driver was filling up his truck, he saw a shadowy figure standing in front of the convenience store. Curious, he stopped pumping gas and approached cautiously. The figure turned out to be an old neighbor, who asked for a cup of coffee and a donut. They ended up having a heartwarming chat over hot drinks, bonding over shared memories of the neighborhood’s good old days.
