7-Eleven

So there is a locksmith inside the 7-​Eleven?! Can’t get more convenient than that — especially since it’s right next to work! Really cool idea…

This really might be the nicest 7-​Eleven in all of Manhattan.
It’s worth paying a visit to see their selection of actual food, not just chips and Oreos. There is seating, a gourmet coffee selection, reclaimed wood décor… it’s really quite remarkable. If you’re anywhere near the Financial District, you should check it out. Hopefully this trend catches on!

I went to this 7 – 11 this morning out of convenience and again a big disappointment. All of the coffee urns were EMPTY. Pathetic.

Not crazy about this store. They grill looks dry. the condiment station is dirty. The store is a bit of messy. Bit unkept. Prefer the on on john street.

I just came here for the free coffee they have going on this week if you have their 7 – 11 App! You can get any size for free. I feel they are handling the crowd well with this. I came in and there was only one coffee that was out, but they refilled it fairly quickly. I did not get that coffee, but it was refilled within the time I was there so that was quick! Overall the store looked pretty clean. There was only one person working, who was refilling the coffees so I did have to get his attention to let me go with my free coffee, haha, but otherwise… good spot.

First thing I noticed about this location is its size. It’s huge. Clean and well lit and spacious. More space means more shelves and variety for food. They have a large food counter in the back where they serve sandwiches and wings. Seems everything is made to order here (pizza wings chicken) which is great because you’re not getting a slice of dry pizza that’s been sitting out all day. Order an item and they pop it into a super hot convection oven and it’s ready in 2 minutes! But what I find shocking is this location doesn’t serve roller food! By this I mean 7 – 11 staples that are served on the heated roller like hot dogs and taquitos. Nor do they have nachos. What is a 7 – 11 without hotdogs and nachos!!! Sin I tell you…

This is one of the most nicely done 7-​Eleven I have ever come across. They have a Jamba Juice corner and also some nice seating area where you can enjoy a mid time meal or a refreshing cup of joe. The interiors seems to be inspired by a fancy store in Manhattan.

$ 1 Big Bites. No slurpie machines working, though… =\
Service was slow, because only one person working and there was a line of five of us and a family.

It’s nothing more than a 7 eleven. It’s clean, very well kept. I usually go in for coffee, to use the red box or for a slurped on hot summer days.
Beware, they do not have the traditional 7 eleven iced coffee that may be advertised. There’s some other mini store inside that has iced coffee but it’s some other kind.
The help is usually awful if you find yourself having to ask for something.

Amazing Staff ! David and Fernando (or maybe it’s Jesus) treated me and my friends with excellent customer service. I believe they deserve a raise and should have their schedules adjusted especially being that Jesus (or maybe it’s Fernando) has a spouse to attend to and working such late hours (2am) is quite hindering to their personal growth. The only negative I would say is that their location doesn’t have hotdogs I honestly don’t understand it. I mean it’s 7Eleven people. :)

This is the furthest thing from a ⁷⁄₁₁ you can possibly get, on the high end of the spectrum. Compared to other locations, this place towers as a pillar, or a shining beacon that others can only hope to emulate.
It’s really something excellent, futuristic, modern, and well maintained, even into the late hours of the night! It almost makes you forget you are in a 7 – 11, which is the sure sign of any quality business.

Lunch break in Downtown Civic Center on a blistering non-​stop snow winter day was uninviting and unappealing to go the walking distance. 7-​Eleven franchise are appearing more and more in Manhattan which happens to be my lunch. I elected a chicken Caesar wrap sandwich $ 4.99 and one fresh banana $ 0.69. However, there were no Caesar dressing in the sandwich despite the name «Caesar wrap» as there were no packets visible to take. When inquiring with the staff the response was «we never had any.» The sales clerk mentioned that dressing is $ 0.99 next to the sandwiches in the refrigerator? Whoa! Has the ailing economy tank far below the rising cost of living that condiment packets are impossible to distribute when requested by customers? I mentioned that all other 7-​Eleven franchise in Manhattan the small condiment packets are free, which the staff gave one to me without charge. No napkins are available either.

I know that 7-​Elevens are never classy to begin with whether or not it’s in the Financial District. Cashier asked for my ID, in a very rude way, which I could didn’t mind. But when the cashier tapped on the tip jar and said «tip jar is right here», without doing anything let alone have some sort of conversation just for a pack of cigarettes, that just made me feel uncomfortable.

I used to work at this 7-​Eleven when it first opened and wow… this place has really changed in some ways. They got rid of the health food and vegan groceries. No Mozzarella Sticks… Garbage cans have «aprons», as the old manager would say… bathroom was a little filthy with no bathroom checklist like when I was working there a while back. The electronic kiosks next to the freezer are not there anymore (the ones you can process your food orders and them orders went to the screens in the kitchen.) When the old crew and I was there, we really took pride in how the store was looking. Now, it seems like the workers are just there because they have to be there; they don’t take pride on how the store looks.
One thing that bothers me the most is that they still throw away food!!! WHY is this company so wasteful!!! There are so many hungry folks out here in New York that would be super grateful for that food. A little word of helpful advice: take inventory and ORDER what you need. now if you’re going to have a promotion on certain things, order above and beyond and blow it out, but please:
STOP THROWING AWAY EDIBLE FOOD! Donate certain foods (except like milk and stuff) to your local food bank.

So clean and well designed! Very spacious. Has slurpies. Lots of snacks and grocery type food for a college student diet.

This 7-​Eleven gets 5 stars because it’s the first of its kind. It’s classier than your regular 7-​Eleven. It’s like one day you saw McDonald’s serving Steak or Burger King serving Lamb Chops. It’s probably the only 7-​Eleven that has all customers wearing suits and trench coats.
Okay, I’m exaggerating a little. But you get what you can get at any regular 7-​Eleven except, instead of the pre-​cooked food they usually leave out, they actually take them out of the freezer and oven-​bake them in front of your eyes! Everything here looks much, much, more sanitary and they have a very small dining area for you to sit down and eat!
The deals are still there and the slurpees are still there. There’s even a section for Amazon Lockers (Google it)!!! It’s pretty convenient for me to send packages there rather than to my office… they really put the convenience in convenience store.

I don’t know where to begin…
1) An employee was working the register with street clothes, while on his cellphone.
2) An employee at the register asked me if I would like a bag for the 8 cans of soda I purchased. (Sigh…)
3) Employees will tend to customers when they feel like it.
Need I say more?

Save ur cup for da discounted refills

This 7-​Eleven is the SHIT. Who the hell knew a 7-​Eleven could be so upscale and trendy?
Spacious, brightly colored, plenty of seats, great service, even moderately clean restrooms SAY WHAAA?
The $ 2 perfectly seasoned cheese pizza is to die for and I just don’t understand why their pizza is more amazing than say, anything I’ve tried in an actual pizza place. Am I going insane? If so, this descent into madness is kind of pleasurable. Hmm.
They have fun facts and pertinent news on a huge tv screen by the stools, as well as Amazon lockboxes to pick up your deliveries. Um, yes please.
If I am around the area again, this will be my go-​to place for lunch. PROPS!

7-​Eleven goes upscale. I admittedly visit this particular store on an almost daily basis because of its proximity to my job.
As it was being built, roughly between March and July of 2013 I eagerly awaited having a spot to get a good fresh cup of coffee for relatively cheap. I was expecting them to have the same crummy, dried out processed fast food and gas-​station-​store esque décor as a typical 7-​eleven. Was I surprised when this place opened. Actual interior design was involved in creating the space which has tile floors, dark accents and shelves along the walls, and seating in the back around a large corner window space. They manage to seamlessly incorporate certain functional elements, such as an Amazon locker, key-​making machine and RedBox machine into the mix.
The food is not at all what you’d expect from 7-​Eleven. Instead of taquitos, sausages and dried out frozen pizza, it has fresh Ciabatta sandwiches, salads, organic fruit and nut snacks, and other foods that I actually eat and enjoy. There are also craft beers by the six pack or bottle.
With all this, plus staff that is friendly, and seems to understand the concept of customer service. I can’t keep myself out of this place.

This 7-​Eleven is brand new, lending to it being nice and clean!
They have their usual variety of hot foods– from hot dogs to pizza, empanadas, and taquitos. There’s also a wide selection of sodas and frozen foods.
My only gripe is that they don’t really have juices. I went in looking for any kind of juice (orange, apple, cranberry) and only saw Naked smoothie drinks. Weird.
Staff is very friendly and oh yeah– slurpees!

I was pretty excited for the opening of this 7 Eleven for a clean, new, and fast convenience store opening a few blocks away from my apartment. Went in once just to scope out the selection and it looked pretty good. Went again this morning for some coffee and found some great stuff:
1.) They sell some pretty damn good beer as well as the usuals. Everything from Keegan Ales to Budweiser, 6-​packs to tall boys.
2.) Awesomely you can create your own 6-​pack, picking and choosing bottles with the supplied recyclable 6-​pack cardboard carriers. How fun!
3.) Lotto tickets
4.) TVs with subway statuses, stocks, etc — great idea while waiting in line to pay!
5.) Made to order sandwiches on a touch screen ordering device — just like the amazing Wawa’s of the Dirty Jers. A touch of nostalgia on the streets of the financial district.
6.) Surprising selection of fruit and higher end products like Bread Alone and Brad’s kale chips.
7) OPEN 24 HOURS!!! Amazing for coming home from nights out looking for cheap snacks, sandwiches, beers, etc. This is my new stop for late night vices.
8.) Yummy coffee.
9.) You can absolutely tell that corporate is trying to push a new image for 7-​Eleven by selling all this high-​end beer and grocery items, as well as with the store design and lay out that has a young, fresh feel to it. Pretty good job, as I usually associate 7-​Elevens as run down and dirty slurpee stops with sweating rotating hot dogs and stacks of Hostess cupcakes next to the cashier. Perhaps some midnight robberies and young derelicts running the counters to complete the image. My mind is so far changed!
10.) Only gripe is that there was a line of 5+ people during morning rush hour at 8:30 with one cashier — kind of strange you wouldn’t stack your registers for morning rush in the Financial District, but hey they’ve barely been open a week. Not a big deal.

7 Eleven opened right across the street from me today on ⁷⁄₁₁. With today being the grand opening and also National Free Slurpee Day, you would think this location would be more chaotic or busy, but everything went quickly and smoothly.
Me being the forgetful person that I am, I went down to check out the newly opened store and forgot it was free slurpee day. To my surprise, there was someone handing out cups at the front door and along the line, caps and straws as well. The line moved quickly and there was an employee waiting at the end to fill your cup with requested flavors. I got the mango/​lemonade and wild cherry — ah, the taste of my childhood.
Their preparedness and efficiency surprised me in a good way and the store layout was great as well. Stocked with plenty of snacks, drinks, and other items you would expect out of a convenience store, it was brightly lit and even had a screen showing stock prices and the status of nearby subway lines, emphasizing that this store is for locals (stock ticker for financial district, genius: P)
There is also a hot food section and area in the back with seating. Overall, nice to have a convenience store so close by in the neighborhood.
