And now, your 7-Eleven branding on the Bowery

As we first reported on Aug. 29, 7-Eleven is opening shop on the Bowery in the long-dormant retail space at 52E4 — the 15 stories of condo...

Anyway! The green, orange and red has arrived...

    I've got to admit, the idea of slushies within walking tempts me...

    Every one I've ever been inside of smells like hot dogs. Gross.

    their coffe is the most disgustong i have ever tasted.
    i dread the arrival of 7-11 on the bowery, for everything it represents.
    this is killing one more piece of the soul of the east village.
    99% of chain stores are inherently evil. look what they do to people, environments, and neighborhoods to achieve profit. no, don't look away, into your stupid slurpee. look closely, and then you will see.

    I hate the fact that I'm going to have to pass by a 7-Eleven every day on the way home from work. And I'm generally not a fan of chain stores - however, mostly because there's generally less quality. How are chain stores "inherently evil?" I'd also like to point out that 7-Eleven stores are franchises, meaning that the people who own and operate them are usually hard-working entrepreneurs, part of everyone's favorite statistic-du-jour, "the 99%." While I'd rather see something else in this spot (actually, I'd rather see the entire 52E4 building gone), I consider the placement of this store merely misguided, rather than "evil."

    if we don't spend our money there, it will not last. is an organized boycott necessary?

    It's too visible to the Subsidized, as they walk from their NYU dorm rooms to the bars... even an extremely well-organized boycott wouldn't make that much of a difference I think.
