About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was past midnight when a delivery driver pulled up to the 7-Eleven for a quick coffee refill. The neon sign flickered ominously in the quiet street, and an eerie silence hung over the gas station. As he stepped inside, the clerk’s voice echoed with unusual clarity through the empty store: 'Welcome back, Mr. Smith.' The delivery driver looked around suspiciously but saw no one else. ‘Must be my imagination,’ he thought, taking his coffee. Later that night, as he drove home, he noticed a familiar figure waving from behind the counter of another 7-Eleven. ‘Hey, Mr. Smith!’ the voice called out again. With a smile, our hero realized it was just a friendly neighborhood clerk who recognized him from afar.

2. A curious package arrived one morning at the 7-Eleven’s back door. A delivery driver noticed it wasn’t on the usual list, but shrugged and left it with a note: ‘Open only if you’re bored.’ Inside was a cardboard box filled with strange gadgets—an old calculator, a dusty toy car, and a note that read: 'Press any button for fun!' The clerk pressed them all, causing the store to fill with confetti and streamers. Everyone in town came over to see what happened next, and from then on, whenever someone got bored, they’d visit 7-Eleven for a surprise party.'

3. At closing time, an exhausted employee locked up the 7-Eleven and headed home. But something strange awaited him outside. Just as he reached his car, a delivery driver honked loudly from behind. ‘Hey, you forgot your change!’ The employee laughed, realizing he had indeed left his tip on the counter. Turning back, he waved and drove off, thinking it was just another late-night 7-Eleven adventure.

4. A regular customer asked the clerk, ‘Why does the same old man always buy milk at exactly 3 AM?’ The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Oh, that’s our night security guard. He keeps odd hours.’ A few days later, a delivery driver joked, ‘I saw him buying cookies too—must be his midnight snack!’
