Rent a former 7-Eleven on the Bowery

A for-lease sign arrived last week at the former 7-Eleven at 351 Bowery.

The convenience store closed in November here between Third Street and Fourth Street after 13 years of serving Slurpees® and Buffalo Chicken Rollers.  

The Bowery store opened in December 2011. It was the first of four to open in the East Village, ushering in a wave of storefront suburbanization that repelled some residents. Now, they have all shuttered.

This was also the first retail tenant in the 52 E. Fourth St. condoplex. The Katz & Associates website has not yet listed it.

The former 7-Eleven on Avenue A and 11th Street, which also closed in November, isn't listed for rent and is being used as a canvas.

    Not sorry to see 7-11 go, can get all of that I want in the suburbs, felt like an intrusion in the East Village, no character whatsoever.

    "A-he lives in a-his own Heaven
    Collects it to go from the 7-Eleven
    Well, he's out all night to collect a fare
    A-just so long, just so long it don't mess up his hair"

    Sorry.

    7/11 is owned by a Japanese conglomerate. In Asia they are not suburban. They have excellent food. And they are a beloved community presence. The US division is run under suburban and highway rest stop gas station style model. It doesn’t work in cities. I would love to have an Asian style 7/11 near me.
