About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm November night in Texas when a delivery driver pulled up to the 7-Eleven. As he stepped out of his truck, something unusual caught his eye—a lone star-shaped light flickering above the gas pumps. Curious, he approached and noticed it was just a misaligned neon sign for ‘Star Gas.’ A regular passing by chuckled, saying, ‘Guess they’re trying to attract some extra customers!’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, and drove off—leaving behind a small crowd admiring the colorful new attraction.

2. It was a chilly December morning in Minnesota when a delivery driver pulled up to the 7-Eleven for coffee. As he stepped inside, something odd caught his eye—a neon sign that hadn’t been lit since the store opened decades ago. Curious, he flipped the switch and watched as the old sign flickered back to life with ‘CLOSED FOR REPAIRS’ written across it in faded letters. The whole place erupted in laughter—turns out, someone had just forgotten to turn on the power. Back then, everyone knew each other well enough to share a good joke.

3. At midnight on a stormy night, a delivery driver pulled into the 7-Eleven for a quick coffee break. The store’s neon sign flickered eerily as he stepped inside, and a regular whispered, ‘Did you hear? The cash register starts playing old country songs whenever it rains.’ The delivery driver shrugged, took his coffee, and went outside. Just then, rain started pouring down, and sure enough—out of nowhere—the cash register began crooning 'Old Country Road.' A neighbor passing by laughed and said, ‘Guess that means gas prices are going up!’

4. At midnight on a stormy night, a delivery driver pulled into the 7-Eleven for a quick snack before heading home. As he approached the counter, he noticed an old man standing alone, whispering something under his breath and pointing towards the gas pumps. The delivery driver smiled, thinking maybe the old guy was just talking to himself. Suddenly, the lights flickered, and everyone looked outside—an enormous lightning bolt struck one of the gas pumps. The old man turned around with a big grin, nodded approvingly, then disappeared into thin air. Everyone laughed it off as just another strange 7-Eleven story, except for the neighbor who claimed to see him every stormy night.
