About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station and asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever see that old lady standing by your cash register?’ The clerk shrugged, not remembering anyone. The clerk shook his head. 'No, never.' Then, out of nowhere, an elderly woman with a big smile approached them both. She said, 'I just wanted to make sure you're always open for my midnight snacks!' They all laughed, realizing it was just another friendly neighborhood regular.

2. At midnight, an employee heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘Fill my tank with stars tonight.’ Curious but amused, they obliged—and sure enough, when morning came, everyone’s car had a full tank of gasoline, but also twinkling pinpricks of light. A few days later, another employee noticed that their car radio was playing old folk songs from the 1960s—even though it wasn’t turned on. Smiling, they shrugged it off as just another quirky occurrence until their next shift ended. That night, while locking up, they found a small note stuck under the wiper blade: ‘Thanks for filling my heart with music today!’

3. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled into the nearly deserted parking lot of the 7-Eleven. As he unlocked the door, he noticed something odd: the neon sign above the entrance seemed to flicker between two different times. Curious, he entered and found the store eerily quiet—except for the radio playing an oldies station. The song on the air? ‘It’s 8 o’clock.’ He looked at his watch—it was indeed exactly 8 AM. Just then, a neighbor walked in, grumbling about needing coffee before 9. The driver smiled, realizing it was just another one of those quirky moments that made life interesting.

4. At closing time, a regular walked in and asked the clerk, 'Why does the gas pump say it’s pumping water?' The clerk shrugged and said, ‘Don’t ask me, man—it’s not my pump!’ A delivery driver chimed in from behind the counter, ‘Yeah, must be those newfangled pumps thinking they’re saving the planet.’ The regular laughed and paid for his gas, shaking his head with a smile as he left—another night at 7-Eleven, where even the pumps have a sense of humor.
