About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas pump and noticed something odd. ‘Hey,’ he said aloud, ‘I’m pretty sure that guy in the car next to mine just filled up with gas… three times!’ The delivery driver chuckled to himself, thinking it must be some new way of cheating the system. As he was finishing his own fill-up, he glanced over and saw the same man getting out of his car, smiling broadly. 'Ain't technology grand?' the neighbor said, waving cheerfully. The delivery driver shook his head and grinned, realizing sometimes life's best jokes are right under our noses.

2. One morning, a sleepy customer asked the cashier if they sold coffee after midnight. The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Well, it’s seven-eleven, isn’t it?’ Just then, an exhausted delivery driver walked in, complaining about his late-night route. He joked, 'I thought 7-Eleven meant “seven days, eleven hours”!' Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes life is just as unpredictable as their favorite convenience store.

3. On an unusually cold Sunday afternoon, a young man walked into the store wearing nothing but a towel around his waist. The clerk raised an eyebrow as he approached the counter. ‘What can I get for you today?’ asked the perplexed clerk. The man reached into his towel and pulled out a handful of coins. ‘Just fill up my towel,’ he said with a smile. Everyone in the store burst out laughing, including the embarrassed customer who quickly left, never to be seen again.

4. One stormy night, a neighborhood kid asked the clerk, ‘Does your store ever close?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Never, son. We’re open 24/7.' Just then, a delivery driver pulled up and said, 'Actually, it does close—when the boss gets here tomorrow morning!' Everyone laughed, including the little boy who realized he’d been had.
