About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the 7-Eleven for gas and snacks. As he walked in, something unusual caught his eye—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper sat on the counter. Curious, he picked it up and noticed an old watch dangling from the string inside. Smiling, he thought, ‘Who knows whose timepiece this might be?’ Deciding not to ask questions, he slipped it into his pocket and paid for his items. Months later, while delivering packages downtown, he recognized the same watch on an elderly gentleman’s wrist. Turning red, he stammered, ‘Uhh… sir, I believe you left this at the gas station.’ The man laughed heartily, replying, ‘Ah, that must’ve been my lucky charm!’

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the 7-Eleven for gas and noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside the store's vending machines. Curious, he opened the door slightly—just enough to peek inside. Suddenly, a can of soda rolled out, bounced off his head, and landed with a splash in the nearby trashcan. Startled, the delivery driver jumped back into his truck and drove away, never to return to that particular 7-Eleven again.

3. Late one chilly morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the 7-Eleven for gas. As he pumped, an old man in a parka walked in, bought just one thing—a single pack of gum—and left without saying a word. The delivery driver chuckled and finished pumping gas. Just as he was leaving, the old man reappeared, still silent, and pointed to his car’s windshield wipers. The driver grinned, nodded, and quickly fixed it—only to see the old man walk back inside, buy another pack of gum, and leave again without uttering a sound. That night, everyone in town knew that sometimes, even a simple act can bring a smile.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the 7-Eleven for gas. The neon sign flickered ominously as he filled up his truck. Suddenly, over the store’s PA system, came an eerie announcement: ‘Attention, neighbors—your milkman is here!’ The delivery driver looked around suspiciously but saw no one. Then, from behind him, a familiar voice called out, 'Hey, pal! Got any fresh eggs?' Turned out it was just a regular neighbor stopping by after midnight for some late-night snacks. Moral of the story? Sometimes your milkman might be a little thirsty too.
