Checking in on the former 7-Eleven on Avenue A

The 7-Eleven on the SE corner of Avenue A and 11th Street has been closed for nearly a month now... and it looks longer based on the number of tags on the storefront...

The franchise owner blamed rampant theft for the closure. 

And in case you are wondering how the vacant Avenue A storefront compares to the 7-Eleven that closed the same week on the Bowery between Third Street and Fourth Street (all photos from Saturday) ...

We haven't spotted retail listings for either space yet.
