7-Eleven

This 7-​Eleven is a newer location located on the corner of Balboa Avenue and Convoy Street. It used to be a Union 76 Gas Station.
I thought I had already checked in and reviewed this place, but apparently not. Anyhow, I came here the other late night to use their ATM. Since I am a credit union member I have free use of all 7-​Eleven ATMs… pretty convenient.
I like that this 7-​Eleven has a digital display for their gas prices. Easier to see especially at night. I’ve noticed that their gas prices are comparable to the 7-​Eleven on Convoy. The fact that there are a bunch of gas stations in the vicinity means lower gas prices, since all these places are contending for business.
So the store was nice and clean. It looks smaller than the Convoy store. Nevertheless, it appears to be stocked with the essentials you’d normally find at a 7-​Eleven.
This is your typical 7-​Eleven.

One of three 7-Eleven’s on Convoy. I did not realize it one day till a friend pointed it out to me driving down Convoy. Not the largest one on the street but very convenient to the 805 & 163 and easy to get in and out off. Standard 7-​Eleven fare quickly and conveniently.

Tammy, the store manager is awesome. It’s the crew after her that doesn’t seem too nice, or at least selectively nice. 2 hashbrowns for the morning, please.

Good customer service, good price on gas, conveniently off the 163 Fwy. Thank you Tim for being there at night.

I’m a reg every morn. 5 days a week. the cleanliness of the restroom is terrible. during turnover to next shift the store is not clean for the next shift. graveyard doesn’t have time because they are by themself.

I never thought I’d be leaving a review for 7 – 11, but it turns out that being a grown-​up and working at 8am requires a constant supply of coffee. I come here almost daily for either iced or hot coffee, and I’ve literally never had a bad experience here.
The manager remembers me and always greets me (this is both awesome and embarrassing), and the other associates are always friendly without being obnoxious, considering I don’t want to talk that much at 7:30am.
The coffee is delicious, a third of the price of starbucks, and comes in a bunch of yummy flavors. I usually get the hazelnut or french vanilla, but if you dig sweets you should try out the blueberry flavor. Since it’s warmed up outside I’ve been getting the iced coffee, which is also tasty and works just as well to keep me zooming around during my long days at work. Additionally, I’ve recently discovered that their fresh pastries are AMAZING! Try the blubbery cobbler muffin or the coffee roll.
I gotta give this 7 – 11 props, I’m in and out in 5 minutes, never have trouble parking, and my fare is always pretty dang good considering I picked it up from a convenience store.

Bad service. Cathy must be a very unhappy person or getting kickbacks from Star Towing. Although the signs are very hard to find if you park there, there is ample parking. I made the mistake thinking a quick lunch at Chef Chins next door would be acceptable (did not see any signs of No Parking). And like flies on dung, my car was towed. Amazing, the car was towed 3 minutes before I got back (the parking spot was still dry from where the car was, while the other open spots were all wet from the rain).
What a racket! Yes, I was planning on filling up my car after lunch.

At the corner of Balboa Ave and Convoy St, so it’s very convenient if you’re in the area.
Easy in and out access, 3 entrances/​exits.
Well lit at night, very clean overall (since they opened recently).
Don’t know about the gas quality, but the slurpees and snacks are always tasty here.
