About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station and asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever notice how fast the clocks go around here?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Oh, yeah, they must be on some kind of fast forward.' The delivery driver laughed and said, 'Must be why I always feel like I'm running late!' And as he drove off, everyone in the store heard him mutter under his breath, 'Next time I'll bring my own clock.'

2. Late one night, a sleepy customer walked into the convenience store and asked the clerk, 'Do you sell coffee after midnight?' The clerk replied with a smile, ‘Only if you can stay awake long enough to drink it!’ Just then, an exhausted delivery driver stumbled in and groaned, 'I’ll take two coffees—one for now, one for later!' The clerk laughed and said, 'Good plan, sir! Just don’t forget which one is yours.'

3. Late one night, when the streets were quiet and the stars seemed closer than usual, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station. As he stepped inside for a quick snack, an old man in a trench coat approached the counter and whispered something about seeing strange lights outside. The delivery driver shrugged it off, grabbed his snacks, and went back outside. Just then, a bright neon sign flickered on above the store—‘Open 24/7’—and the old man vanished into thin air. The driver laughed it off, thinking maybe he’d seen things after all those late-night deliveries. But as he filled up his tank, he noticed a friendly wave from a neighbor who popped in for a soda. ‘Another quiet night,’ he thought, smiling.

4. Late one night, a regular stopped by the 7-Eleven for a late-night snack. As he reached for his usual energy drink, the clerk whispered, ‘Did you hear? The last person who bought that flavor won a free lifetime supply.’ Curious, our regular decided to give it a try. Next morning, he found a mysterious envelope in his mailbox with an infinite stack of energy drinks inside—all flavors, but none matching what he’d picked up. Turns out, it was just another clever marketing gimmick from 7-Eleven.
