7 Day Tire and Wheel

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when no one was around, a strange humming sound would occasionally come from inside '7 Day Tire and Wheel'. A delivery driver noticed it first, but thought nothing of it until he heard an echoing laugh that seemed to follow him home. Soon enough, everyone in town started hearing those sounds too—except nobody else could hear them following them home. Just the delivery driver. One evening, while walking down the street, he turned around and saw his neighbor waving cheerfully. ‘Hey!’ she called out, ‘Did you hear that funny little hum again?’ The delivery driver shook his head, confused. That’s when he realized: maybe it wasn’t following HIM after all—it was just his imagination, trying to keep things interesting.

2. Late one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the shop's back door. As he opened it, he caught an odd scent—a mix of rubber and something sweet, like freshly baked cookies. The aroma lingered just long enough for him to wonder if it came from inside or out. As he stepped inside, the smell grew stronger—like someone had left a batch of tire glue in the oven too long. He looked around, but everything seemed normal until he noticed a small sign on the counter: ‘Free samples of our new scented lubricant today!’ Turns out, it was just a neighbor’s prank, trying to lure freebies with his sweet tooth.

3. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a small dog would appear from behind the tire racks. It always approached the counter, sniffing curiously at an old toolbox that nobody remembered putting there. One night, the owner found himself locked out after hours. He heard soft whimpers coming from inside and cautiously opened the door. There was the little dog, sitting next to the toolbox with a shiny new lug nut in its mouth. ‘You’re trying to fix something?’ asked the owner with a smile. The dog barked once and trotted off into the darkness, leaving the lug nut behind.

4. One day after school, a curious kid named Alex walked into the shop. Pointing at the old clock above the counter, he asked the owner, ‘Why does it always say “7:05” even though it’s never been set?’ The owner smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Ah, that clock's been stuck like that since 1987. Nobody knows why.' Just then, an old delivery driver walked in and said, 'Hey, it's almost 7:05 again!' The whole place burst out laughing.
