About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the store’s neon lights were on full blast, an old man would often sit in his car outside the gas station. A regular noticed that every time he did this, his little dog started barking uncontrollably. No one else could hear it—just the dog. One day, a delivery driver passing by heard nothing but saw the dog frantically wagging its tail. Curious, he walked over and asked the old man if everything was okay. The old man smiled and said, ‘Oh, don’t worry, he just loves the smell of fresh coffee from inside!’

2. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every time he arrived before dawn, a mysterious sign appeared above the gas pumps: ‘Fill up for just $1.99 – but only if you hum Happy Birthday.’ Curious, our delivery driver started humming along with the classic tune. To his surprise, the pump clicked on and dispensed fuel like magic! Word spread quickly among locals, and soon enough, every morning at dawn, people lined up outside 7-Eleven, singing together in harmony as they filled their tanks. It became a quirky neighborhood tradition—a friendly way to start each day.

3. At closing time, when the last customer left, a curious dog started visiting the gas station's parking lot every night. It would bark insistently until someone opened the door, then dash inside and sniff around the cash register. One night, an old delivery driver arrived late and saw the dog again. Smiling, he unlocked the door and followed its curious nose. Inside, they both discovered that the cash drawer was open—but empty. The dog looked up innocently, as if asking, ‘Whoopsie-daisy!’

4. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside the convenience store. As he unloaded crates from his truck, he noticed something peculiar in one of the shopping baskets near the entrance. A small, dusty teddy bear with mismatched buttons seemed to be staring right back at him. Curious, the driver picked it up and saw that its button eyes were sewn crookedly, making it look like it was laughing. He smiled, thinking maybe someone had left it behind accidentally. Just then, an elderly neighbor walked out, muttering, ‘Finally found you, little fella.’ Turned out the bear was a long-lost toy from his childhood, and now it had come home to 7-Eleven.
