7-Eleven

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station and asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever notice how everyone here looks like they’re in a hurry but never actually leaves?’ The clerk thought for a moment, then replied with a smile, ‘They leave alright—just not through the front door. They disappear into that alley behind us every time.’ The delivery driver looked puzzled until he saw a familiar figure waving from inside—a neighbor who always popped in for an unexpected chat.

2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming of gas prices, an old man walked into the 7-Eleven. He whispered something strange to the cashier, who nodded knowingly and disappeared into the back room. Suddenly, a delivery driver appeared with a big smile, holding a fresh cup of coffee. 'Morning, sir,' he said cheerfully. The old man took one sip, nodded approvingly, then left without saying another word. From that day on, everyone in town knew where to get the best morning brew—even before the sunrise.

3. One morning, while filling up his car, a regular noticed something odd on the cash register screen: ‘Welcome, Mr. Time Traveler.’ Curious, he asked the clerk if there was a new app or promotion. The clerk shrugged and said, 'No idea, sir—we just opened today.' Turns out, it was an old sign from the previous tenant's coffee shop, still stuck to the register.

4. Late one night, a young boy walked into the convenience store, clutching a toy truck. As he approached the counter, the cashier’s reflection in the mirror seemed to follow him around the room, never staying still. Finally, the kid asked nervously, ‘Are you following me?’ The cashier calmly replied, ‘No son, I’m just watching for your toy truck.’ Turns out it was stuck between the register and the counter. Everyone had a good laugh, including the delivery driver who thought he’d seen a ghost earlier.
