About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a delivery driver pulled up to the gas pump, he muttered under his breath, ‘Why does it always take so long for that guy to pay inside?’ Since then, customers claim they’ve seen him standing there, waving and smiling, even when no one’s around. Finally, someone asked the ghostly figure if he needed help. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, 'Just wanted to make sure you got your change right!' Turns out, he was just an old neighbor who liked to joke around.

2. At midnight, when most convenience stores are quiet, a lone security guard heard an eerie humming coming from inside the store's freezer section. Curious, he approached and opened the door slowly. Inside, in the dim light, he saw rows of frozen snacks, but something was off—they were all moving slightly, as if dancing to an invisible tune. Startled, he closed the door quickly, only to hear a familiar voice from behind: 'Hey, you okay? The snacks get restless sometimes.' Turned out it was just the night shift employee, who had come to check on him.

3. At dawn, while everyone else slept, a jogger passing by noticed something strange: every morning, a different newspaper appeared on the counter of the 7-Eleven, neatly stacked and facing outward, even though no one had been seen entering or leaving the store. Curious, the jogger mentioned it to an old delivery driver who shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Johnson next door. He likes to keep us all informed.’ Turns out, every morning before sunrise, a friendly neighborhood retiree quietly slipped in with yesterday’s papers, never once asking for anything in return.

4. At closing time, when the last customer had left and the lights were dimmed, a cashier overheard a whisper coming from the back room: 'Seven-eleven… never close.' Curious, she tiptoed towards the door, only to hear another voice giggle softly: ‘Actually, it’s eight-twenty-nine!’ A sleepy delivery driver yawned in response: ‘Whatever, man—it’ll always be open for coffee.’
