About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station, fumbling with his keys in the dark. As he approached the counter, he noticed an old man standing there, wearing a baseball cap and holding a bag of chips. ‘Evening,’ said the delivery driver, rubbing his eyes. The old man nodded, pointed to the chips, then whispered something about needing gas too. Turns out, it was just an excuse—he paid for both himself and the driver’s coffee. ‘You’re a regular here,’ grinned the clerk as they left, shaking their heads at another strange yet friendly encounter.

2. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the 7-Eleven, squinting into the gloom as he searched for the pump number on his phone. Finally locating the right nozzle, he fumbled with the card reader while muttering under his breath. Just then, an elderly gentleman walked out and asked, 'Sonny, you okay?' With a sheepish smile, the driver replied, ‘I’m fine, just trying to figure out why my phone thinks I’m in Japan.’

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station and heard an eerie announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all customers—we’ve run out of everything except coffee and cigarettes. Please proceed to the counter.’ The delivery driver chuckled, thinking it was some prank, but then he saw the lone clerk, eyes wide with fear behind the counter. ‘Just kidding!’ she whispered. ‘We’re always fully stocked.’ The driver relaxed, bought his coffee and smokes, and left, muttering, ‘Next time I’ll believe the creepy announcements.’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station, drawn by an eerie humming sound that seemed to come from inside the store. As he approached the door, the hum grew louder—like a thousand bees trapped in a box. Inside, neon lights flickered, casting strange shadows on shelves filled with snacks and sodas. Then, amidst the quiet hiss of the pumps outside, a voice whispered, ‘Got any Slurpees left?’ Turning around, the driver saw only empty aisles. Shrugging it off as a prank, he went home, never realizing his neighbor had been practicing his best 7-Eleven impersonation.
