There are 60 7-Elevens located throughout the 5 boroughs, and that doesn't include 4 currently under construction. I would say it's no longer a "suburban" thing.

It's a small number when you look at the large area of New York City, but it's a large number when I keep hearing people say, "I never saw any 7-Elevens in NYC", or "it reminds me of the suburbs".

BTW, what's wrong with Wawas? The ones they have built in recent years are large, clean, and have reasonably priced gasoline.

I guess my memories of Wawas have more to do with being a teenager in New Haven CT than with the store itself. Nuf said...

Which location?

I never heard anything about cigarettes (unless a particular location sold to minors repeatedly), but in NYC, they used to not grant beer licenses to corporate stores. Meaning those locations that are run by 7-Eleven, and not a franchisee. I don't know the ownership status of the location in question. For example, the 7-Eleven on 4th Ave & 89 Street in Bay Ridge was a corporate store for a long time, and did not sell beer during that period. After it became franchised, they got the beer license and subsequently sold beer.
