About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the neon sign flickered on, a regular noticed something strange outside the 7-Eleven. Every few minutes, a soft humming sound would echo through the parking lot, growing louder and then fading away. Curious, the regular approached the source of the noise and found an old delivery driver dozing off in his truck with the engine running. ‘Hey,’ he whispered, “you could’ve at least turned down that humming!’ The driver yawned and replied, ‘It’s my new app alarm—it tells me when gas is below ten dollars.’

2. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station. As he unloaded crates from his truck, he noticed an odd item in one of them—a tiny plastic dinosaur wearing a cowboy hat. He picked it up curiously and placed it on the counter. A few minutes later, an old man approached, smiling warmly. ‘Ah, you found my little friend,’ said the owner with a twinkle in his eye. ‘That’s Junior, our good luck charm.’ The delivery driver laughed, shaking his head. Another strange story for the books.

3. At dawn, when most gas stations were still closed, a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps. As he filled his truck, he heard an odd humming sound from inside the store. Curious, he peered through the glass door and saw a small alien creature dancing around the cash register, its eyes glowing brightly. The driver laughed and whispered, ‘Must be one of those late-night snacks talking.’ He left a tip on the counter and drove off into the morning mist.

4. At dawn, when most gas stations were still closed, a delivery driver pulled up and noticed an unusual note taped to the door. It read: ‘If you see a unicorn in the parking lot, it’s not real—just our new security robot.’ Curious, he peered around the corner and saw nothing but an ordinary robot vacuuming cars. A regular passing by chuckled, ‘Must be their new cleaning bot.’ The delivery driver shook his head and drove off, muttering under his breath that some days even unicorns couldn’t save him from boredom.
