About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the store's neon sign flickered on, a regular noticed something strange. His young son kept pointing and whispering, ‘Dad, look! The gas pumps are dancing!’ Curious, the father approached the pumps but saw nothing unusual. Suddenly, an older delivery driver walked up and laughed, ‘Ah, kid stuff! They only dance for me too!’ Turned out, it was just the reflection of the neon light bouncing off the wet pavement at night.

2. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to the gas pumps, he heard an odd announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention customers—your coffee is now smarter than you are.’ The delivery driver looked around, confused, but no one else seemed to notice anything unusual. He filled his tank and left, shaking his head. Later that day, while pumping gas next to him was a regular who muttered, 'I wonder if my coffee knows I'm late for work?' The two men exchanged smiles, realizing they were both victims of the same quirky announcement.

3. One day, while filling up his car, a neighbor noticed an odd message on the pump display: ‘Your tank is full of good luck today.’ Curious drivers started checking their tanks—and indeed, every time someone paid for exactly $17.76, the screen would flash that mysterious message. Soon enough, word spread like wildfire. A delivery driver named John even tried paying with exact change—twenty nickels and one dime—to see if it worked. To everyone’s surprise, the pump displayed: 'Today's special: extra dose of good fortune!' That day, he accidentally left his wallet in the store but somehow managed to deliver everything perfectly on time. The locals still joke about it whenever they fill up at 7-Eleven.

4. At midnight, when the parking lot lights dimmed, a delivery driver pulling into the station caught a whiff of something peculiar—an old-fashioned candy scent that seemed out of place among diesel fumes. Curious, he followed his nose through the darkened aisles and found an ancient vending machine, its glass door ajar and emitting a faint glow. Inside was a single pack of long-forgotten ‘Ring Pops,’ their wrapper slightly askew as if someone had left them there years ago. The delivery driver grinned, shook his head, and muttered, 'Guess some neighbors never grow up.'
