About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the dead of night, when most gas stations were asleep, an old man with a shopping cart appeared in front of the 7-Eleven. He pushed it back and forth, muttering something about ‘magic hours’. Finally, someone from inside asked, ‘What are you doing out here?’ The old man replied, ‘Just waiting for magic hours to fill my cart.’ A delivery driver laughed and said, ‘Magic hours? They’re called midnight discounts!’
2. Late one Friday night, a delivery driver pulled up to the 7-Eleven for a quick snack. As he walked in, something odd caught his eye—a neon sign that had been out for years suddenly flickered on and off. Curious, he approached the counter just as another customer—a regular—asked for a pack of cigarettes. The clerk looked puzzled but handed over the requested items without a word. The delivery driver paid quickly, grabbed his snack, and left, leaving behind an eerie silence until the neon sign switched itself back off again. To this day, locals joke that 7-Eleven’s fuel pumps are powered by ghostly convenience-store spirits.
3. One morning, while filling up his car, a regular noticed something strange on the store’s digital sign: ‘Coffee brewed by ghosts—try our special blend!’ He laughed it off but couldn’t help glancing back later that day. That night, a delivery driver passing by decided to pull over and check out the sign himself. To his surprise, the coffee was actually quite good—and not just any coffee, but the perfect cup for an early-morning drive. Word spread quickly among locals, and soon everyone knew about the mysterious brew. Some even claimed they could taste hints of marshmallow or chocolate in their cups. The regular who first saw the sign ended up becoming friends with the delivery guy, bonding over their shared love of odd urban legends.
4. At dawn, while pumping gas into her mom’s minivan, little Sarah noticed something odd: the reflection in the window wasn’t moving, even though she was. Curious, Sarah leaned closer and saw a tiny old man with a toothbrush mustache waving from the reflection. ‘Morning, honey!’ he said cheerfully. Startled, Sarah jumped back, but it was just an early-morning hallucination—caused by lack of sleep and too much coffee. From then on, whenever anyone asked if they’d seen Grandpa Joe, everyone would nod knowingly and smile.
