About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the store was closing early, a regular noticed something odd: every time he walked past the gas pumps, his dog would start barking furiously at an empty corner of the parking lot. Curious, the man approached the spot and saw nothing but shadows. Then one night, while leaving late, he heard his dog’s bark again—and there, illuminated by the streetlight, stood a friendly neighborhood cat, waving its paw as if saying goodbye. The regular laughed it off until he realized: maybe his dog wasn’t so crazy after all.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to the gas pumps, he heard an unusual sound coming from inside the convenience store. 'Did you hear that?' he asked himself, glancing nervously around. Curious, he walked into the store and saw only a cat meowing at a half-open fridge door. ‘Whoops,’ said the driver, scratching his head. The cat yawned, stretched, then sauntered out, leaving behind a note on the counter: “Sorry for the noise! Just helping myself to some late-night snacks.”

3. Late one night, as an employee locked up the convenience store, she heard an unusual sound coming from the parking lot. Curious, she peered outside and saw a delivery driver struggling with a misbehaving pump. With a smile, she walked over and said, ‘Let me help you with that.’ The two ended up chatting until closing time, discovering they lived in the same neighborhood. Now, whenever either of them works late, they grab coffee together before locking up.

4. Late one night, as a delivery dog approached the store's back door, it suddenly started barking furiously at nothing. The puzzled delivery person looked around but saw no sign of intruders. Just then, an old cat appeared from behind the dumpster and sauntered towards the door. Realizing what was happening, the delivery driver laughed and said, 'Oh, you little troublemaker!' The dog stopped barking immediately, tail wagging happily. It seemed that the cat had been using the store’s porch as its own personal shortcut for years.
