About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when most gas stations are asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to the 7-Eleven. The neon sign flickered ominously as he unlocked the door. Inside, an old man in a trench coat stood by the cash register, whispering into his coffee mug. ‘Good evening,’ said the driver politely. The old man looked up, startled, then grinned sheepishly. ‘Just checking if you’re still open,’ he muttered, returning to his coffee. ‘I always come here for a late-night snack.’ The driver nodded knowingly and left with a smile, realizing that some customers never change.

2. Late one night, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed an eerie glow coming from behind the store's dumpster. Curious, he approached and found… nothing but a faint whiff of something sweet that wouldn't go away. As he sniffed around, he heard a voice whispering, ‘Don’t you want to try my new energy drink?’ Turns out it was just a regular customer who’d left his Slurpee half-finished. The delivery driver grinned, took a sip, and promptly fell asleep on his feet—only waking when his truck started honking for gas.

3. At dawn, when few people were awake, a delivery driver pulled into the 7-Eleven for a quick coffee break. The store was empty except for an old man sitting in the corner, reading a newspaper from twenty years ago. The delivery driver nodded politely and went to get his coffee. As he approached the counter, the old man looked up, smiled warmly, and said, ‘I’ve been waiting here every morning for twenty years. Thought you’d never show up.’ The driver laughed and replied, ‘Guess I’m not as punctual as you are, sir!’

4. One morning, as a delivery driver filled up his truck, he heard a tiny voice from inside the store. Peering through the window, he saw a curious little bird pecking at the open vending machine, clearly puzzled by the strange snacks it offered. The delivery driver smiled and quietly opened the door. The bird flew out, startling a nearby customer who exclaimed, ‘What the heck is that doing in here?’ As they watched, the little fellow landed on a bag of potato chips, chirped once more, then took off into the early-morning sky. To this day, locals joke that 7-Eleven’s snacks attract unusual visitors.
