About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, while filling up at 7-Eleven, a regular noticed something odd on the gas pump screen: ‘Your car is now powered by friendly aliens.’ The next morning, no one could explain it, but everyone agreed it felt like a good day for UFO sightings. Later that week, an excited delivery driver showed up with his truck’s odometer reading: 'Visiting Alien Spaceships Since 2023.' A neighbor quipped, ‘Finally, proof our cars run on star dust!’ And so, whenever anyone filled up at 7-Eleven, they’d smile and whisper, ‘Today might be the day we meet E.T.’

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into the 7-Eleven for gas and snacks. As he approached the counter, he heard a soft whimpering sound coming from behind the store's convenience aisles. Curious, he looked around only to discover an adorable stray kitten playing with a glowing blue ball that seemed to appear out of nowhere. The delivery driver picked up the kitten gently, but when he tried to hand it back to its mysterious glowing friend, nothing happened—the ball had vanished without a trace. The next morning, everyone in town was talking about the magical cat that appeared only at night. And so, every once in a while, when things got too quiet at the 7-Eleven, people would whisper, ‘Did you see our little midnight shopper?’

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled up at 7-Eleven, he heard an unusual announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, neighbors! The local squirrel has learned to use our gas pumps as acrobatic slides!’ The delivery driver looked around, half expecting to see a tiny furry figure sliding down the nozzle. To his surprise, nothing happened. Just then, an elderly neighbor walked in and asked for a pack of cigarettes. ‘Did you hear that?’ she said with a smile. ‘Squirrels using our gas pumps like slides? Must be good luck!’

4. Early one morning, before sunrise, a delivery driver pulled into the 7-Eleven for coffee and snacks. As he stepped inside, he overheard two employees whispering about a strange light in the parking lot. Curious, the driver peeked outside and saw nothing but an ordinary streetlight reflecting off the wet pavement. Just then, his phone buzzed with a message from home: ‘Honey, where are you? The baby’s crying!’ With a laugh, he realized it was just another slow night at the gas station—until next time, that is.
