About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station, fumbling with his keys in the dark. As he approached the counter, an old man emerged from behind the shelves, whispering something about ‘magic hours’ and glowing signs. Finally, the old man pointed towards the sign above the cash register, which inexplicably changed from ‘Closed’ to ‘Open’ just as the driver looked away. The delivery guy paid for his gas, muttered a thanks, and left—only to discover next morning that his truck had mysteriously filled itself while he slept. From then on, locals joked that 7-Eleven’s magic hours were best experienced after midnight.
2. At midnight, a sleepy clerk glanced outside and saw an old man muttering something strange into his phone. ‘I’ll be there in five,’ he said, pointing towards the convenience store. The next morning, everyone noticed their cars were mysteriously filled with gas—except for those who hadn’t heard the late-night visitor. Later that week, a delivery driver pulled up and asked if anyone had seen an old man around. A neighbor replied, 'He was here last night, but only for a moment.' When the driver looked inside, he found the old man's phone still on the counter—with one missed call from Shell station down the road.
3. At dawn, when few people dared venture near the gas station, a regular noticed something odd in the reflection of the store’s window: a shadowy figure seemed to be filling up invisible tanks. Curious, he watched more closely and saw that the shadow was actually an early-morning jogger, his reflection distorted by the old glass. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned ghosts, the regular would smile and say, ‘They’re just morning runners with bad mirrors.’
4. At closing time, a little girl walked into the convenience store, her eyes wide as she pointed at the glowing sign above the counter. "Mom,” she whispered, “why does it say ‘Never Sleep’? Isn’t it supposed to be Seven Eleven?” The clerk smiled and looked up at the sign. "Oh honey," he said gently, "that’s just our secret code. It means we never close—always open for you and your mom!" The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then ran out with a smile. From that day on, whenever anyone asked why the sign read 'Never Sleep,' everyone in town would wink knowingly and whisper, 'Because they love us.'
