About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a delivery driver pulled up to the gas pump, he heard an eerie announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, all customers—your cars are now talking!’ Since then, some drivers claim their engines hummed along with them. Curious, one regular leaned into his car and asked aloud, ‘Hey, do you want to listen to some music?’ Suddenly, every engine around him started singing ‘Imagine’ in perfect harmony. The whole station erupted in laughter, and from that day on, whenever someone filled up at 7-Eleven, they brought their own headphones.

2. One morning, while filling up his car, a regular noticed something unusual in the convenience store’s display case—a bag of chips labeled ‘Never Eat Alone’ next to an empty packet marked ‘Just Kidding.’ Curious, he bought both bags and took them home. That night, over dinner with friends, someone joked that maybe they should rename it 'Share or Regret.' The group laughed so hard, even the delivery driver outside joined in, honking his horn.

3. In the dead of winter, when the sun barely peeked above the horizon, an early-morning jogger stumbled upon something peculiar. The convenience store’s neon sign glowed eerily bright against the stark white snow, and inside, the clock on the wall seemed to tick slower than usual. Inside, a regular customer was reading the newspaper with such intensity that he didn’t notice the time until his coffee grew cold. When asked why he lingered so long, he simply replied, ‘I’m waiting for tomorrow.’

4. One day, while pumping gas and checking emails on his phone, a regular noticed something odd in the reflection of the fuel nozzle. A tiny, smiling face seemed to peer back at him from the chrome surface. Curious, he leaned closer, and the smile grew wider—until he realized it was just his own reflection, warped by the nozzle’s curve. From then on, whenever someone asked for directions or needed change, the regular would wink knowingly and say, ‘Ask anyone—they’ll point you right here!’
