They have them in the DC area too and yes they are miles better than 7-Eleven. Great fresh food.

When we moved here a couple of years ago, we were researching franchises and I mentioned to my husband that I hadn’t seen any 7-11...checked online and I believe I found one. Then earlier this year, one popped up close to me on Telge Rd in Cypress. Then I noticed two others were being built even closer, on different ends of Spring Cypress Rd.

No, Marathon sold their Speedway stations to the parent of 7/11.

I dont frequent gas stations and seldom step foot in those stores,arent their prices higher than say a CVS or supermarket?
They are a great place to buy a lottery ticket or play video games !

7-11 used to own Citgo then sold those assets a Venezuelan company. They still use them as their gas supplier for a while. Eventually the company got acquired by Japan and they’ve took over the world since.

7/11 quit using Citgo as a supplier a long time ago.
