See <a href="http://www.sfexaminer.com/local/2011/08/san-francisco-chain-stores-go-shopping-approval" rel="nofollow">this</a> for more.

Ever. I'm sure the vast majority of my neighbors won't either. <br /><br />That being said, I'm not as confident as BagelGuy that this place will shut down. Most of its business will come from people not from the EV (or even from NY). The 7Eleven on St. Marks is doing well enough to stay open. So is the one next to iHop. And 7Elevens are one of the most profitable franchises in the country, taking hold almost wherever they're opened. We may be in for a long haul waiting for this place to close. <br /><br />There are things you can do, however, if you want to see this place close. <br />1) Never shop here. <br />2) Shame neighbors who do at the expense of neighborhood establishments. <br />3) Inform others in our community, including passersby looking for cigarettes, of other nearby options. Protesting on the sidewalk with a sign and list of other places to shop would be an excellent move, if you're really committed. <br />4) Check up on this place once it's open. Are they unsanitary? Selling alcohol to minors? Otherwise being bad neighbors? If so, call 311 and take five minutes to report it.<br />5) Complain to the New Yorkers helping bring this to our neighborhood; ask them to refuse business from 7Eleven and its franchisees. Some emails available from the permits include the NY area architects involved in the project Vincent Benic [primary] (VINCE@VBARCH.COM), Richard Wainer (RICHARDWAINER@AOL.COM), Brent Porter (718-789-5426), and Alkesh Shah (ASHAH.AGS@GMAIL.COM), the people involved in permit acquisition for the building permits (JOEY@JMZONING.COM) and the sign (RICHSIGNPERMITS@OPTONLINE.NET), and the people in AR kindly helping 7Eleven remodel like Lawrence Lott, Greg Schluterman, Llyod M. Elrod (TERESA.CLARK@HFA-AE.COM), and Laura Muller (LAURA.MULLER@HFA-AE.COM) all at Harrison French & Associates. Complain to all of these people, at these email addresses that they've made part of the public record, that you don't the business they're working for and politely request that they stop.
