About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, after closing hours, a delivery driver noticed an unusual light flickering inside the store's back room. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a small child, grinning widely as it played with a glowing red ball that seemed to float in mid-air. The delivery driver gently opened the door, but the kid didn’t flinch or cry out—just kept playing. Turns out, it was just a reflection from a passing car on a new security camera. The next day, everyone had a good laugh, especially when they found out the kid was actually the neighbor’s mischievous grandchild who liked exploring late at night.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station, he heard a tiny voice crying from inside the convenience store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a little mouse frantically waving its paws at him, pointing towards the vending machine. The driver smiled, thinking it was just another late-night prankster. He opened the door, but instead of a mouse, out popped an old man in a tattered hat, muttering, ‘Finally someone answered my call for help!’ Turns out, the poor fellow had locked himself in the storeroom while trying to fix his car battery. The delivery guy shook his head, laughing softly, and helped the neighbor get back on his way.

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled up his truck, he caught a strange whiff of freshly baked cookies wafting from behind the counter. Curious, he peered inside and found no one—just a warm oven and a note that read, ‘Cookies for the first customer who needs them.’ The next morning, an old lady came in, rubbing her belly and smiling. She said, 'Thank you, little store angel!' The delivery driver grinned, thinking maybe it was just his imagination—or perhaps someone had left a magical cookie fairy in charge after hours. And so, late-night customers continued to receive unexpected treats, making 7-Eleven feel less like a gas station and more like a friendly neighborhood secret club.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled up his truck, he caught a glimpse of someone darting across the parking lot. Curious, he looked closer and saw a sign on the door that read ‘Last Convenience Store Open Until Midnight’—but it was already past midnight. Smiling, the delivery driver shrugged and thought, ‘Who cares if they’re open late? I’ll just grab some snacks for the road.’ He entered the store, only to find an old man behind the counter dozing off with a half-eaten sandwich. ‘Welcome!’ said the sleepy neighbor. ‘We close when you leave.’
