7-Eleven Closing Up Shop For 18 New Jersey Locations
Get your Slurpee and bad convivence store food while you can as the popular retail chain 7-Eleven is closing its doors for eighteen of its New Jersey stores.
Don’t panic because 7-Eleven still has close to 300 locations across the Garden State and you can still fill up for your big gulp. Although, some would like to know what is causing this change and which exact stores are being affected.
Well, this is all a part of a much larger nationwide downsizing effort by the company. As for the 7-Eleven that will forever be closing its doors, the location in Lakehurst along Route 70 will have to find its slushies elsewhere as it will be closed this week.
Now, if you’re in the market for a 7-Eleven you may be in luck as the locations listed below will be up for sale very soon according to NJ.com.
- Barnegat (886 W. Bay Ave.)
- Butler (1284 Route 23)
- Colonia (1265 St. Georges Ave.)
- Delran (18 Haines Mills Rd.)
- Elmwood Park (91 Broadway)
- Flemington (99 Route 31)
- Hackettstown (42 County Rd. 517)
- Holmdel (2145 Route 35)
- Moorestown (310 Chester Ave.)
- Newark (790 Broad St.)
- Newark (131 Market St.)
- Newark (2 Ferry St.)
- Scotch Plains (302 Park Ave.)
- Toms River (1741 Hooper Ave.)
- Washington (472 Route 31)
Alongside the New Jersey locations, 7-Eleven is planning to sell a total of 73 of its banner stores and Speedways in 22 states. Speedways is another convenience store that was acquired last year. Reports suggest that potential buyers will be able to purchase “One, some, or all” of the listed locations.
So, while it may not be the total end of the world for 7-Eleven it does stink a bit that locations that local communities enjoy are closing. It would be the same thing if you told me Wawa was now a pizza parlor. I just hope whoever does wind up buying these locations puts them to good use. Who knows with all the southern chains coming to New Jersey anything could truly happen.
