About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station and noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper, left unattended. Curious but cautious, he decided to investigate further. As he approached closer, he heard a faint voice coming from inside: 'Please don't leave me here!' Turned out it was just an abandoned teddy bear crying for help. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off, muttering under his breath that some people really should get more sleep.'

2. Late one morning, when most people were still dreaming, an early bird stumbled into the 7-Eleven for coffee. The clerk had just unlocked the doors and was adjusting the lights when he heard someone whispering from behind the counter. Curious, the clerk turned around—and found only a sleepy-looking a regular, who yawned and asked for his usual cup of joe. Turns out, it was just another day at the 7-Eleven—except maybe a little more exciting than usual.

3. Early one autumn dawn, when fog lingered like a ghost over the parking lot, a neighborhood cat began appearing at the 7-Eleven's doorstep. It wasn't just any cat—it always arrived precisely at midnight, ordered a Slurpee, then vanished as mysteriously as it had come. One night, a delivery driver noticed the cat and struck up a conversation with it. ‘Slurpees every night?’ he asked, shaking his head in disbelief. The cat looked up, blinked once, and walked out, leaving behind an empty cup and a note scribbled on a receipt: “Just here for the late-night companionship.” The next morning, everyone in town saw the same note taped to the store’s window.

4. Late one night, when the streets of Houston were quiet as a whisper, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station. The neon sign flickered ominously, but there was no one in sight—until he heard a soft humming from inside. Curious, he cracked open the door—and found an old man humming along to some country tune on the radio. ‘I’m just waiting for my car,’ said the stranger with a twinkle in his eye. The delivery driver laughed and nodded, filling up the tank without another word. As he drove off into the night, he wondered if maybe that 7-Eleven had its very own regular customer.’
