About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular stopped by one morning for his usual coffee and convenience store snacks. As he reached into the vending machine, something unusual caught his eye—a small, dusty teddy bear nestled among the chips and candy. He picked it up curiously, noticing a tiny note attached: ‘Founder’s Bear—free with any purchase.’ He smiled, thinking it was some clever marketing trick, but soon realized that every time he came in, the same little bear greeted him from different corners of the store. Eventually, the regular started leaving an extra treat for the next customer, creating a friendly chain of kindness within the drab convenience store.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are still sleeping, a delivery driver pulled up to the 7-Eleven. The parking lot was empty, but something caught his eye—a strange glow coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man sitting behind the counter, humming softly as he arranged cans of soda into perfect rows. ‘What’re you doing here so early?’ asked the driver. With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, “Just making sure everything’s in order for our loyal customers.” They both laughed, realizing it was just another day at the magical 7-Eleven.’

3. At midnight, while a delivery driver filled the tanks, he heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a neon sign flickering ominously, spelling out something unexpected. Inside, the sign read: ‘Sale on Slurpees!’ The delivery driver burst into laughter, realizing it was just another late-night glitch. As he left, he waved goodbye to the neon sign, muttering, ‘See you tomorrow, Slurpee Sale Guy.’

4. At closing time, a delivery driver locked up the station and headed home. Passing by 7-Eleven, he noticed a voice whispering from inside: ‘Wait… don’t go yet.’ Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty shelves and dim lights. Then, out of nowhere, an old coffee cup whispered, 'Just one more customer!' The delivery driver laughed it off and drove away, but every now and then, he'd catch himself glancing back at that familiar neon sign.
