About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when even the stars seemed to sleep, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station. The neon sign flickered ominously as he approached the counter, only to find an old man reading a newspaper. The old man looked up with twinkling eyes and asked, ‘Another long night on the road, son?’ With a wink, he added, ‘Got any change for a coffee? I’ll pay you back tomorrow.’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and said, ‘Not tonight, pal. But thanks for the company.’ And so they chatted until dawn, while cars whizzed by outside in the early morning hush.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations were just opening their doors, an early riser noticed something odd outside the 7-Eleven's window. A delivery truck kept pulling in, unloading boxes of donuts and coffee, but never leaving. Finally, a curious neighbor approached the store owner and asked what was going on. With a twinkle in his eye, the owner replied, 'Ah, our secret weapon for keeping customers happy!' The mystery deepened until one day, a regular customer joked, ‘Maybe they’re delivering time machines—everyone here always looks like they’ve traveled back from the future!’

3. At dusk, when city lights began to flicker on, a neighbor parked his bike outside the convenience store and entered with a puzzled look. Inside, an elderly delivery driver was counting change, humming softly to himself. The neighbor asked curiously why he was here so late. With a twinkle in his eye, the driver replied, ‘I’m just waiting for my lucky seven.’ They both laughed, and as the sun set behind the gas station, the neighbor realized it wasn’t so strange after all.

4. At sunset, when the neon sign of 7-Eleven glowed like a lantern in the twilight, a young woman walked into the store with a basket full of groceries. As she approached the cash register, the clerk asked her if she’d seen the strange creature lurking outside. The woman shook her head and said, ‘No, I haven’t seen anything unusual.’ The clerk shrugged and continued scanning her items. Just then, an old man entered the store, muttering under his breath about how everything was getting stranger these days. When he heard their conversation, he laughed and remarked, “That’s because it’s just a raccoon looking for some grub!” They all burst out laughing, realizing that sometimes the strangest things turn out to be nothing more than ordinary creatures doing what they do best.
