About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station and noticed something strange. The air was filled with an unfamiliar scent—a sweet, almost floral aroma that seemed out of place among diesel fumes and neon lights. Curious, he followed his nose through the store and found it coming from the vending machine section. Turned out, someone had left a box of freshly opened cookies near the snack aisle. As he stood there, laughing at himself, a regular customer walked in, nodded knowingly, and said, ‘That’s why I always buy my snacks here—can’t resist those late-night treats!’

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station and noticed an old man standing alone in front of the convenience store. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘do you know what time it is?’ The old man looked up with a twinkle in his eye and replied, ‘It’s exactly 7:08—just enough time for another cup of coffee!’ The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, thinking the old fellow was quite the character. As he filled up his truck, the old man walked over to the counter, bought himself a warm coffee, and settled into a corner, clearly ready for another quiet night. The driver smiled, knowing that wherever there’s a good story, there’s always room for one more cup of coffee.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station and noticed an eerie glow coming from inside the convenience store. Curious, he cracked open the door—only to see a regular standing there, reading an old newspaper under the dim light. ‘Hey,’ said the man without looking up. ‘Do you have any batteries for my flashlight?’ The delivery driver blinked in surprise, then laughed. ‘You’re here every night,’ he replied. ‘I should’ve known.’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station and noticed an eerie sign above the cash register: ‘Ask for the midnight special.’ Curious, he asked the clerk what it meant. The clerk smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘It’s just our secret way of saying “regular price.”’ A few nights later, the same delivery driver returned late again. This time, as he approached the counter, he heard someone whispering from behind him, ‘Midnight special, anyone?’ Turning around, he saw only empty aisles and shelves. With a laugh, he realized it was just another customer playing along—now that was their real midnight special!
