About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, after closing hours, a delivery driver noticed an unusual commotion outside. A small dog kept barking furiously at the gas pumps, ignoring treats and commands from its owner. The driver watched curiously as the dog continued its determined dance, seemingly trying to communicate something strange. Curious, the delivery driver approached closer. As he got nearer, he saw that the dog was trying to nudge something under one of the nozzles—a tiny, half-eaten candy bar wrapper. Turns out, the little guy had been guarding his treat stash all along! The driver laughed, shook hands with the relieved owner, and drove off, muttering something about canine loyalty.

2. One morning, while filling up at the gas station, a regular noticed something peculiar in one of the empty parking spots. There, amidst the usual trash and abandoned shopping carts, lay a mysterious box wrapped in old newspapers. Curious, he approached it and found inside an ancient thermos filled with steaming coffee. Turns out, it was left there by a friendly neighborhood barista who worked late shifts. From then on, every morning, someone would leave a fresh cup of joe for the early birds at the station—an anonymous act of kindness that became part of the local lore.

3. One foggy morning, as a delivery driver filled up his truck, he heard a strange announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, all customers and employees—your lucky number for today is 7-11!' The delivery driver looked around suspiciously but saw no one else reacting. Shrugging it off, he finished filling up and drove away. Later that day, while pumping gas, an old neighbor stopped by and asked if he’d seen the new lottery numbers posted outside. Turning to him with a smile, the driver replied, ‘Nope, I missed it—must’ve been another lucky 7-11!’

4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled into the 7-Eleven parking lot for a quick fill-up. The gas pump clicked off, but something caught his eye—a sign on the door read, ‘Closed until further notice—we’re out of coffee.’ The driver shook his head and laughed, thinking it was some kind of prank. But as he walked inside, he found an old man sitting behind the counter, dozing off with a half-empty cup of coffee. A sign above him read, 'Sorry, son, I’m retired now.' The driver smiled, filled up his tank, and drove away, leaving a tip and a note that said, 'Next time, wake up early enough to serve coffee!'
