7-Eleven

Standard 7 – 11 though small in size. Has both fuel and a car wash. Nice overnight staff. Needs to have the gum removed off the sidewalks and power washed regularly. Decent gas prices. Food is always fresh and the interior is clean and neat. Trash cans are never overflowing.

Had to stop by here to get the trees on my mirror so my car won’t smell. They had them. I bought them. Another uneventful transaction at 7 – 11, just like it should be.

Nothing fancy, you pump your gas and pay at the pump so no real human interaction except the other guy filling up. The 7 – 11 is nice so if you have to grab something, you can get in and out fast and back on the road.

Don’t waste your money on the car wash! I did the top of the line wash selection and did an overall bad job. It didn’t even touch the tires/​rims!

After traveling to Asia and discovering how nice a 7-​Eleven can actually be, I was forced to concede that I had rarely considered frequenting such establishments back CONUS. That said, I have actually become somewhat fond of this particular combination gas station /​convenience store. While I will normally reserve gas purchases for a different establishment, I do find that I will often pickup various other items at their convenience store (batteries for laptop mice, the odd snack or soda, and even a less-​than-​healthy option from their griddle when I know a lunch run is not practicable).
What I like most about this place is that it has high traffic from our men and women in uniform. I have always considered the care and support of our armed forces to be a simple and straightforward «must.» Thankfully, the mostly female staff at this particular store can be counted upon to bring a cheerful /​helpful disposition (for the most part).
Parking in back often proves more expedient than jockeying for one of the slots out front (especially when the objective of your trip does not include gas). Even though I have not done it, the parking lot for a shuttered cinema abuts the 7-​Eleven property. If, like me, you don’t want to risk door dings from haphazardly parked federal contractors driving rental cars looking to make it to their BWI flights on time… well, park accordingly.
In summary, «convenience» is as much about personal preference and commuter cadence as it is ease of ingress /​egress or fuel price competitiveness. Even though I find myself having to do the loop back at the Northrop Grumman entrance to get to my destination after a visit to this 7-​Eleven, I cannot honestly say that I am likely to stop frequenting this store. It is all just too… convenient for me. Travel well, my friends.

Getting gas, gas, gas!
Restrooms are adequate.
Close to BWI and BWI’s hotel row, very convenient for those trying to return a rental vehicle with a full tank.
Only 5 – 10 mins away from rental car garage and airport

This 7 Eleven is right near a movie theater, a few restaurants and close by to a lot of businesses. They are located in a place where people like me who need to get gas before hitting 95 or 695.
The place is clean and the staff are friendly. It’s your usual gas station/​convenience store. Grab yourself a big gulf, a thing of beef jerky and some combos before driving off after filling up with gas.
Safe travels!
