About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station and asked the clerk, 'Do you ever close?' The clerk shook their head and replied, 'Never, man—we’re open 24/7!' Since then, some customers swear they’ve seen an old lady in a long coat standing outside the store after hours. One night, a neighbor stopped by to grab some snacks late at night. As he walked out, he noticed the old lady was still there, waving cheerfully. He waved back and joked, ‘Hey, aren’t you supposed to be dead?’ She smiled and said, ‘Nah, I just like keeping an eye on things here.’ Ever since then, everyone knows not to be surprised if they see her at odd hours—she’s just making sure everything’s okay.

2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, an old man walked into the convenience store. He asked the clerk for a cup of coffee and a newspaper—both items he’d been buying every morning for decades. But today, something felt different. The headlines seemed darker than usual. The clerk smiled knowingly and placed a fresh copy of ‘Daily Gazette’ on the counter. As the old man took his usual spot by the window, sipping coffee, a delivery driver parked outside with a big grin. ‘Morning, Mr. Regular,’ he called out. ‘Finally found your secret newspaper subscription!’

3. At closing time, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper, left behind like it had been forgotten. Curious, he picked it up and found inside an old thermos filled with hot coffee. A note read: ‘For the night shift—stay awake!’ With a smile, he poured himself a cup and realized why no one ever forgot to come back for their free caffeine boost.

4. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to the convenience store for a quick snack. The usual hum of the refrigerators gave way to a low, rhythmic thrumming sound—like someone playing a distant guitar. Curious, he stepped inside only to find everything perfectly normal. As he reached for his sandwich, he noticed an old man in the corner reading a newspaper with a smile on his face. ‘Same thing every day,’ the man said without looking up. Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood retiree who’d been hanging out there since closing time. The delivery driver left with a laugh and a newfound appreciation for late-night company.
