I haven't stepped foot into one of these, however walking by them and looking inside, they are very sparse. How they could ever compete with a bodega which stocks everything imaginable, is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteThe concession stand at the movies sells healthier food. At my bodega I can buy everything I need to make a healthy dinner. Tofu, veggies, everything.
ReplyDeleteThe copy on the red background would be easier to read if it were white.
ReplyDeleteI was reading about their franchise lawsuits. They micro manage the franchisees to death.
ReplyDeleteThis 7 Eleven will be out of commission within a year. I guarantee it. Joe Depinto , if you are reading this , be afraid. I am going to pummel you. You are going to have to explain to a room full of CEO's how a little Italian guy from Brooklyn with a few bagels and a fraction of the buying power kicked your ass. I have things in store for you Depinto. It's on.
ReplyDeleteBring it, BagelGuy, bring it!! We are with you!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf you click the graphic you'll read it at the size it was designed. Blogger shrinks it.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 10:14,
ReplyDeleteI did red it at full size. Black copy on that red is still harder to read than white copy.
SMDH shut up.
ReplyDeleteIt's a convenience store. Get over it.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but no. They are not needed and are coming in large numbers to force the bodegas out. If I wanted to dine on junk food I'd live on a turnpike.
ReplyDeleteYes! Lets let large corporations control our food choices. I want to be told what I can buy and what I can't. I loved it when Walmart said I couldn't buy Nevermind because they didn't like the cover art. We need more of that!!!
ReplyDeleteI want to support a corporation elbow-deep in human trafficking.
ReplyDeleteWTF can you need from a 7-11? Serious question. What I'd love in that space is a well-stocked bodega. My favorite one is at the NE corner of 7th St and 1st Ave - I'd love something like this on Ave A! Since the store on Ave A btw 6th and 7th closed, we don't have a bodega-like establishment on Ave A :-( There's Sunny and Annie on 6th and B, but they don't have the wide selection of veggies and fruit that I find on 7th and 1st Ave.
ReplyDeleteAlso, bodegas have bodega cats. Is the 7-11 going to have a bodega cat? Didn't think so.
ReplyDeleteI never shop in 7-11s but I'll defend to the death their right to franchise in NYC.
