About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, while filling up at 7-Eleven, a little boy pointed excitedly at the gas pump and whispered, ‘Dad, look! The numbers are dancing!’ His dad chuckled but noticed something odd too—numbers on the digital display seemed to flicker in time with the hum of the pumps. Just then, an older gentleman walked over and asked if everything was okay. Turns out, he was the store manager who’d installed that particular pump himself. He laughed and said, 'Those digits? They’re just keeping rhythm with the electricity.' Everyone had a good laugh, including the little boy who learned not to trust everything his eyes see.

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled into the 7-Eleven for a quick coffee. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd—a squirrel sitting on top of the gas pump, staring intently at the nozzle. The driver chuckled and decided to join the squirrel in its curious game. He slowly approached the pump, holding his coffee close, until they both reached the exact same spot—right under the nozzle. A moment later, another customer walked up, shook his head, and said, ‘Morning, neighbor. Looks like you’ve met our new friend.’

3. At dusk, a neighbor walked into 7-Eleven for a last-minute snack. The cashier smiled as usual, but something odd caught her eye—a small dog, sitting patiently outside, staring intently at the store's neon sign. As she approached the door, the dog trotted inside and sat obediently next to her basket. The cashier laughed softly, ‘Looks like Fido has his own loyalty card!’ The neighbor shook her head, smiling, thinking it was just another quirky night at 7-Eleven—until the little dog wagged its tail and pointed eagerly towards the coffee machine.

4. One afternoon, a delivery driver stopped at 7-Eleven for an energy drink. Glancing around, he noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he approached and saw it was just an old radio antenna from some neighbor’s roof. He laughed, thinking how easily our minds can play tricks on us when tired. Back inside, he downed his drink and drove off into the setting sun.
