7-Eleven

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably cold night in Texas when a delivery driver pulled up to the 7-Eleven. The neon sign flickered ominously as he stepped inside, drawn by something more than just the convenience store’s late-night hours. Inside, the store was eerily quiet except for the hum of the fridge. A regular customer, standing near the cash register, turned around with a smile and asked if everything was okay. ‘Just checking my GPS,’ replied the delivery driver, scratching his head. They both laughed, realizing it was pointing them towards each other's homes instead of the gas station.

2. It was late on a Friday night when a delivery driver pulled up to the 7-Eleven for a quick snack. As he approached the counter, he noticed something odd—a regular was frantically trying to buy exactly seven cans of soda, but only at eleven o’clock. The clerk raised an eyebrow and asked, ‘Sir, why do you need precisely seven sodas at exactly eleven?’ The man whispered urgently, ‘I’m watching a movie where they do it every time!’ Turning to the delivery driver, he added with a wink, ‘You should totally watch it too.’

3. It was early morning when a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station. The air was filled with an unusual scent—a mix of gasoline and something sweet, like freshly brewed coffee. As he approached the counter, a regular customer waved him over. ‘Hey, did you smell that?’ asked Joe, rubbing his nose. The delivery driver shrugged, puzzled. Suddenly, a puff of steam emerged from behind the counter—followed by a cat lazily walking out, holding a half-drunk cup of coffee in its paws. Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it had been just another day at the 7-Eleven.

4. It was midnight, and a delivery driver pulled up to the 7-Eleven. ‘Hey,’ he said to no one in particular, ‘I bet I could fit three more cases of soda under my truck.’ And just like that, the mini fridge in the back seemed to grow larger. He managed to squeeze them in, but when he tried to close the door, his head got stuck between the fridge and the wall. A regular customer heard him yelling and came running over, laughing so hard he almost dropped his Slurpee. The next morning, everyone in town knew the story—except for the delivery guy, who still hadn’t managed to get his hat off.
