7-Eleven

Beautiful new store. Great coffee/drink/slurpee/ice cream selection. Very clean and organized.

Nothing like a new 7-11 to pop into and grab fuel and poke around to see what's it's like. They just opened last week and are a combo Exxon/7-Eleven store.

The location on the corner of Great Neck and First Colonial is a gold mine. Construction had been under way since Summer, so I assume they were behind schedule opening. There is access on both corners and signage could not be any better. The store itself is a huge billboard.

So a bit of history on the old location. It was previously Exxon fuel only and the building faced Great Neck. The new configuration turned the building to face First Colonial allowing more pumps and space to maneuver. A nifty design maximizing all available space on the lot. The 7-Eleven on the corner of Mill Dam and Great Neck just .2 mile away closed.

The gas station with grand opening banners is sharp. The lot tidy and no visible trash. New landscaping installed. A air pump is available and takes charge cards. The three island fueling station offers decent space, but it's much tighter than others of similar design. Exxon Synergy fuel is utilized which is good. They were clean and the containers within their boundaries. Washer and towels present. No issues with the pump and my card processed without a hitch. A receipt was not required.

I had a few minutes to check out the inside, but did not need anything. No greeting upon walking in, but the clerk was attending to another customer. I found the concrete floors tidy and shelves neat. The floor plan is condensed, but packs a lot of the typical products you count on for your convenience needs.

Two Skurpee machines was cool, three types of coffee was underwhelming. The can and bottle drink area in the rear was the most impressive and offers a huge amount of variety. The interior few aisles has a mix match of items. They carry less wine than I expected on the shelves. A better offering is refrigerated.

Overall very good and thus will be a go to. 3.5, rounding up...it sparkly new!
