About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to the 7-Eleven and muttered under his breath, ‘I swear, every time I come here, that gas pump talks back.’ The next morning, as he filled up again, the pump said cheerfully, 'Good morning! How’s your day so far?' The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, realizing it was just an old gas pump with a quirky personality. From then on, whenever anyone asked him about strange occurrences at the 7-Eleven, he’d wink and say, 'Oh, you should hear what that gas pump has to say.'

2. At closing time, an elderly gentleman approached the cashier with a puzzled expression. ‘Why does it close at eleven?’ he asked. No one knew for sure. ‘Maybe they run out of coffee after midnight,’ suggested a delivery driver. The old man nodded thoughtfully and said, ‘Or maybe it’s their way of telling everyone: “We’re closed—go home and sleep!”’ Everyone laughed, and the cashier waved goodbye as the sun began its slow descent behind the convenience store sign.

3. One foggy morning, a young woman rushed into the 7-Eleven, her eyes scanning the shelves frantically. Just as she reached for a bottle of water, she noticed something odd—all the prices seemed to be written in invisible ink. A nearby delivery driver overheard her and offered help. Together they discovered that the prices were actually written in neon green ink—a prank by the store’s new employee who thought it would make shopping more fun. The woman laughed, paid for her items, and left with a free pack of cookies from an apologetic but enthusiastic cashier.

4. In the early hours of dawn, a sleep-deprived student stumbled into the 7-Eleven for a caffeine fix. As she reached for her usual energy drink, something odd caught her eye—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper, left unnoticed on the counter. Curious, she peeked inside and found nothing but an old newspaper clipping about last night’s soccer game. With a laugh, she paid for her drink and left, realizing it was just another prank from a neighborhood prankster. The next morning, everyone at the gas station laughed when they saw the headline: ‘Local Student Finds Time Capsule in 7-Eleven.’
