About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the dead of night, when most gas stations were sleeping, an old man started visiting 7-Eleven. He’d pull up in his ancient car, buy just one thing—a single pack of gum—and then leave without saying a word. No one knew why he came or what drove him, but soon everyone began calling him ‘the midnight chewer’. One day, a delivery driver noticed the old man and struck up a conversation. Turned out he was just lonely and enjoyed chatting with someone new every now and then. Since then, whenever anyone visited late at night, they left with not only their purchase but also a friendly smile from the midnight chewer.
2. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the 7-Eleven and noticed something odd on the sign above the counter: ‘Coffee brewed by ghosts—try our special blend!’ He shook his head, but when he ordered coffee, it tasted like nothing he'd ever had before. The next day, curious locals lined up for 'ghost-brewed' coffee. A regular asked the cashier if they really used spirits in their beans. Smiling, she replied, 'No sir, just good ol’ ground coffee—and maybe a little magic!' The story spread fast, turning the gas station into a quirky tourist attraction.
3. At midnight, when even the stars had given up on watching over the city, a delivery driver pulled into the 7-Eleven for a quick coffee. The lights were on, but something felt off—no cars in the parking lot, no customers inside. As he approached the counter, an old man emerged from the back room, rubbing his eyes and muttering something about ‘another late-night caffeine fiend.’ Turns out it was just an elderly neighbor who stayed up counting stars and occasionally working as a part-time night shift clerk. The delivery driver left with a smile, thinking, ‘maybe next time I’ll bring him some cookies.’
4. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a delivery driver pulled up to the 7-Eleven and saw something odd: the neon sign flickering ominously. Curious, he peered inside through the window and noticed an old man, a regular, dozing off behind the counter. The driver knocked gently on the glass, waking him up with a start. ‘What’s open late around here?’ asked the sleepy-eyed gentleman. ‘Just you, sir,’ replied the delivery guy, grinning.
