About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station, blinking headlights in the dark. As he approached the counter, the cashier looked up with a curious smile and whispered something strange into his ear. ‘Did you know,’ the cashier leaned closer, ‘that if you buy three Slurpees at exactly midnight on a Tuesday, they give you a free bag of chips?’ The delivery driver raised an eyebrow but decided it was worth trying. Next morning, standing outside, he shook his head and laughed: ‘Guess what? It worked!’

2. In the dead of winter, when snow blanketed everything in sight, an old man shuffled into the 7-Eleven. He asked the clerk for a cup of hot chocolate and a newspaper. The clerk smiled knowingly—everyone knew Grandpa Bob liked to read the comics while sipping his drink. Just then, the door swung open, and a sleepy-eyed delivery driver stumbled in. ‘Hey, Grandpa,’ he groaned, ‘can I borrow your newspaper too? Mine’s still in the truck.’

3. At dawn, a jogger passing by noticed something odd: every morning, right on schedule, a strange humming sound would emanate from inside the store. Curious, they peered through the window and saw an old radio playing vintage jazz tunes. Turned out, it was just an enthusiastic employee who loved early-morning music. From then on, customers started arriving not only for coffee but also for a little pre-work groove.

4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled into the parking lot, drawn by an eerie humming sound. As he approached the storefront, the scent of freshly baked cookies wafted through the air—an unusual aroma for a convenience store. Curious, he peered inside and saw only rows of glowing lights and empty shelves. Just as he turned around, a voice said, 'Welcome, sir! Can I help you find something?' A friendly old man in a tweed jacket stood behind the counter with a plate of actual cookies. The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just another late-night prank from his neighbor.
