Also has anyone noticed that the clothing stores around 26th and broadway all closed at the same time? wonder if they all got bought out to make something big or all failed at the same time... maybe one of those will become a 7-11 also D: not really a fan of more than one 7-11 within reasonable walking distance from each other. i do like their taquitos but i maybe have them once every 2 months, its the only safe way to digest them. but still would have rather had something unique there instead, and a deli isn’t bad, why is there so much hate for them?

And 7-Eleven has a decent selection of coffee, usually brewed fresh (good traffic). Don’t forget to drop some free nacho cheese sauce on those $1 sausage biscuits!

Sometimes it is just cheaper to get a 2L bottle than the small one. Am I the only one who is upset that a small 20-ounce bottle of soda is $1.99 + depot + tax these days?

They buy lots of cartons of candy bars, bottled beverages and candy there. Sometimes I see the bodega people stock-up on stuff at the Costco.

I love their $1.00 biscuits with meat patty, pork rib sandwiches, slurpees and a good selection of carbonated beverages. Their $1.00 pepperoni pizza slices are by far the tastiest in the city, but they are not as big as the slices in the dollar slice pizza joints. 7-Elevens are much better than local bodegas and grocery stores: they have a great product selection at reasonable prices, with a good number of specials and promotions – something that you will never find in a local bodega, plus they also offer free condiments like nacho cheese and chilli meat.

Sucks, but that's business.

It is my go to spot. I love 7 Eleven (for now) since they destroy the ridiculously high bodega prices---especially with their deals on waters and sodas. where else can you get 2 2 liters for 3 bucks? Not any bodega in my hood....except 7 eleven! My only fear is once the delis are closed (some have already closed like bagel deli on 33rd and madison, which is right across the street from a 7 Eleven) 7 Eleven will stop the deals and jack prices to bodega prices or worse....
