About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to the 7-Eleven and noticed something odd—an old man in a trench coat was standing outside, staring intently at the closed gas pumps. Curious, the driver got out and asked what he needed. The old man just nodded towards the pumps, whispering, ‘They’re open now.’ Turns out, it was an optical illusion—a reflection from the store’s neon sign had made them look closed. The driver laughed and said, ‘Thanks for your concern, sir!’ As they parted ways, the old man waved back with a smile, leaving behind only a faint scent of mothballs.

2. One night, a little boy walked into the 7-Eleven after dark. As he approached the counter, he pointed excitedly at the glowing sign above the gas pumps: ‘Mommy, look! It says “Open 24 Hours” even though it’s midnight!’ The clerk smiled and nodded knowingly. 'Actually, son,' she said gently, 'it means we're open until 11 PM.' The boy frowned thoughtfully for a moment before turning back with a big smile. 'Then why does it say "Open 24 Hours"?' A nearby delivery driver chuckled softly. 'Kid's got a good point!'

3. At closing time, an elderly gentleman entered the 7-Eleven and asked the clerk, ‘Do you sell moonlight here?’ The clerk replied, ‘No sir, but we stay open until midnight.’ The old man nodded thoughtfully and said, 'Thank you, son.' He then walked out into the night air, leaving the clerk scratching his head. A few minutes later, a delivery driver asked if he could buy some moonlight too. The clerk shook his head with a smile and replied, 'Sorry, pal—we’re just a gas station, not a magic shop!'

4. At dusk, a man in a plaid shirt walked into the 7-Eleven and asked the clerk, 'Can you tell me if it's always closed on Sundays?' The clerk replied, 'No sir, it’s open twenty-four hours.' The man nodded thoughtfully and said, 'Then why does everyone call it Seven Eleven?' Just then, an older gentleman approached the counter and whispered to the clerk, ‘I’ve been coming here every Sunday for years, but I never see anyone else.’ The clerk smiled and shrugged, ‘That’s because they’re all too busy filling up their tanks and buying snacks to notice each other!’
