A few more details about renting the former 7-Eleven space on St. Mark's Place

The "for lease" sign went up on the former 7-Eleven on St. Mark's Place last Thursday, as we first noted. At the time, the listing wasn't yet online.

Now it is.



Unfortunately, there aren't a whole lot of details (such as asking rent!) ... but we have a better idea how the Winick reps are marketing the space...

Some of the specifics:

•Incredible East Village retail opportunity with ventilation in place

•Tremendous visibility with 70’ of frontage AT GRADE and soaring ceiling heights

•One block from the new 400,000 SF office tower at 51 Astor Place

NEIGHBORS: Chipotle, DF Mavens Desserts (coming soon), Verizon, Pinkberry, Dallas BBQ, Otto’s Tacos

Looks as if the parcel includes what used to be Baoguette Cafe.

Anyone for reviving BAMN!, the garish automat that somehow managed to stay open for 2.5 years?

No? OK!

You can now rent the former 7-Eleven space on St. Mark's Place



We've been waiting for the "for lease" signs to arrive here at 37 St. Mark's Place at the site of the former 7-Eleven, which closed on Nov 30 as we first reported.

And brokers put one up yesterday.

The listing isn't online just yet. For now, the retail space in the Theatre Condo complex is almost all empty, save for Verizon Wireless store. In the corner slot, a retail outpost of DF Mavens ("The finest dairy-free ice cream in the world. Made in NYC.") will take the former Eastside Bakery (.net?) home.

Meanwhile, the empty 7-Eleven has been oddly photogenic…

There goes the 7-Eleven awning on St. Mark's Place



For anyone thinking that 7-Eleven wasn't actually closed for good here on St. Mark's Place at Second Avenue. Workers arrived early this morning to remove the 7-Eleven sign/awning ... the store closed this past weekend, as we first reported...



The store opened in April 2012... flashback to happier sign times!

7-Eleven, expanding and contracting in the East Village


[Photo yesterday by Bobby Williams]

As we first noted on Sunday, the 7-Eleven on St. Mark's Place closed this past weekend. The Post has a piece on it today:

“I would rather go to St. Mark’s Market,” said Mike Romano, 26, a retail purchaser who lives in the East Village. “It’s always the tourists who go to the 7-Eleven. They don’t know you can go to the corner deli Gem Spa and buy everything.”

-----

Meanwhile! At the 7-Eleven on Avenue A and East 11th Street... workers expanded the sign on the East 11th Street side of the store yesterday... perhaps clearing up the rumors that the remaining space (the former Angels & Kings!) would turn into a Subway or Starbucks...

[Updated] Reader report: The 7-Eleven on St. Mark's Place has closed



A St. Mark's Place resident passes along word that the 7-Eleven here near Second Avenue has closed. Workers are currently removing various machines from inside the store this morning.


[Via EVG reader Robert]

There are three trucks lined up along St. Mark's Place. The reader says there isn't much, if any, merchandise left on the shelves.

No official confirmation from any 7-Eleven reps. (Updated: Workers on the scene confirmed this afternoon that the store has closed.) Perhaps that closed sign yesterday was more permanent that originally expected. Or maybe they are just renovating the place. Or there are some other issues that would cause workers to temporarily empty the store of every machine and food product.

This location opened in April 2012.

Noted



A reader noted that the 7-Eleven on St. Mark's Place was closed this morning… There was black plastic covering the windows… and a handwritten "closed" sign on the door offering no explanation… The reader said that it didn't appear to be anything noticeably, like broken, like a front window.

[Updated] Claim: Employees restyle 'No 7-Eleven' sign for new Avenue A storefront



We've heard from several readers who claim that an employee of the new, much-maligned 7-Eleven on Avenue A and East 11th Street was spotted removing a "Stop 7-Eleven" flyer from a storefront across the street... (the flyers are up in several businesses along Avenue A and East 11th Street and elsewhere.... courtesy of the No 7-Eleven blog.)

As you can see, someone then repurposed the flyer, which is now in the new 7-Eleven's front window...

[Updated] The 7-Eleven signage is up, and someone has already spit on the front window



On Avenue A and East 11th Street, the plywood is down and the sign is up... And a tipster noted that a cyclist zipped by, slowing down long enough to spit on the front window.



Last we heard this location will open tomorrow...

Updated 3:26 p.m.

[Updated] 7-Eleven signage arrives on Avenue A



A truck toting signage for the new 7-Eleven on Avenue A and East 11th Street arrived on the scene at 6:30 this morning, Shawn Chittle happened to notice. Crews have been hard at work late at night prepping the store for its Grand Opening... one crew member said they'd open today... while another member of the set-up crew said that the opening had been pushed to tomorrow.

The No 7-Eleven blog spotted an employee taste-testing the Slurpee machines...



Meanwhile, the Blue Plywood remains up around the store... the one with the active Partial Stop Work Order on it.

1 if by land, 2 if by sea, 3 if by plywood: Yes, there's a 7-11 inside there



Construction of the incoming 7-Eleven is entering its 13th month of painful gut rehabilitation and disruptive construction on Avenue A and East 11th Street... EVG reader Cartknocker was curious to see just what was going on behind that plywood... Luckily, the plywood is easy enough to scale...



Yes, that is a 7-Eleven.



Meanwhile, the No 7-Eleven blog has a recap of Sunday's No 7-Eleven rally right here.

Report: Another Stop Work Order for incoming 7-Eleven on Avenue A



Early last month, the arrival of three AC units adjacent to the incoming 7-Eleven at 500 E. 11th St. (aka 170 Avenue A) prompted the city to serve a partial Stop Work Order. The units, installed an estimated 14 inches from residential windows, "shake the back of the neighboring building," according to the DOB.

Yesterday, the No 7-Eleven blog reported that the city served another Stop Work Order on the site, this time for blocking fire escapes.



As far as we know, this is the second time the site was hit with a Stop Work Order for blocking exits... on Sept. 21, 2012, the city served a Stop Work Order for "BLDG CONSTRUCTION WORK BLOCKING SECONDARY MEANS OF EXIT."

Despite the Stop Work Order, residents saw the workers continue to go about their business yesterday.

Construction of the convenience store is now in its 13th month.
