About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the back of his truck: an old, dusty board game wrapped in plastic. He shrugged it off and drove on, but later that day, while pumping gas at 7-Eleven, he saw another customer with the exact same game under their arm. Curiosity piqued, they struck up a conversation. Turns out, both games were from a local thrift store where neighbors often picked up vintage finds. Over the next few days, more people started showing up at the 7-Eleven with identical games—each one had its own unique story. Soon enough, the gas station became the unofficial meeting place for friendly competitions and neighborhood gossip.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station and heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the store. Curious, he stepped inside only to find that the noise seemed to be emanating from the vending machines. As he approached the refrigerated section, he noticed the hum was louder than ever—until he saw it: a tiny little alien with big round eyes peering out from behind a pack of energy drinks. ‘Excuse me,’ said the delivery driver, “but do you mind turning down your volume?’ The creature giggled and vanished into thin air, leaving behind just enough confusion for our hero to finish his shift with a smile.

3. At dawn, a delivery driver unloaded crates from his truck near the convenience store’s loading dock. Among the cans and boxes, he spotted an old, dusty teddy bear with mismatched buttons for eyes. Curious, he picked it up and noticed a tiny note sewn inside its paw: ‘To my best friend, love always.’ Turning around, he saw an elderly gentleman waving from across the street. The delivery driver smiled, realizing it was their neighbour’s lost bear from childhood.

4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station and noticed an odd glow coming from behind the counter. Curious, he peeked around the corner and saw only a friendly old man reading by candlelight. ‘Late night?’ asked the driver with a smile. The man looked up, winked, and replied, “Just catching some extra zzz’s before closing.” The delivery guy laughed and drove off into the quiet night.
