About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas pump and noticed something odd. ‘Hey,’ he said aloud, ‘I’m pretty sure I filled this tank yesterday.’ He looked around suspiciously but saw only the usual late-night neighbors: an old dog dozing in its owner’s car, and a squirrel arguing with itself over a nut. With a shrug, he decided it must be his imagination—and paid for another fill-up.

2. Late one night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled into the 7-Eleven for a quick coffee refill. As he reached for his usual cup, he overheard two regulars whispering about strange lights flickering in the parking lot. Curious, he stepped outside and saw nothing but shadows dancing on the wall. Just as he was about to shrug it off, a familiar voice called from behind him: 'Hey, you’re blocking my view of the stars!' Turned around, he found an old neighbor admiring constellations through the store’s window. They both laughed, realizing that sometimes what seems like eerie activity is just someone else's way of finding comfort in the quiet hours.

3. One morning, a little girl asked her mom why the 7-Eleven cashier kept talking to himself while ringing up groceries. The mom whispered, ‘He’s just saying his lucky numbers.’ Later that day, when they were filling up their car, she overheard him muttering, ‘Seven… Eleven… Seven… Eleven…’ She giggled and said, ‘I guess he really likes our gas station!’

4. One evening, a little boy pointed excitedly at the 7-Eleven sign, asking his dad, ‘Why does that store stay open even when it’s dark?’ The father smiled and replied, 'Because, son, it's like magic—it's always open for friends who need a snack or gas.' Just then, an older gentleman walked in, nodded towards them, and said, 'And I always stop here for a friendly greeting!' The boy looked puzzled but laughed, realizing maybe some places really are magical.
