There is 7-Eleven, and the there is 7-Eleven. The Taft store is FANTABULOUS! Whenever I’m in Taft, I have to stop by this store. Everyone knows the Tero Family, who own and personally operate the store. Whenever I meet someone from Taft, I ask them and they know the whole family and seem to really love them. THISISWHAT I’M ALWAYSTALKINGABOUT! People in business should be connected to the community they have chosen to do business in. This family has been here through two generations, and the locals have come to know and love them. So given that they are well liked, no reason to keep up the store in tip top condition, right? Wrong! This staff really cares about providing the best they can to their customers and I think the family feeling is given to the customers as much as it is received. They would never think of letting their customer/family eat bad food or shop in a dirty unsafe store. The store is always clean, organized, and has the coolest selection of stuff from hot foods(including bomb pizzas), to pastries. They have fresh food delivered daily and there is a snickers brownie in the bakery section that i drool over. When you come in this store, you can grub out or grab packaged items. They have 4 kinds of Slurpee and just about every other kind of drinks you can think of. There is also a gas pump outside and they always have good prices. The hot dogs are great. Try some hot dogs next time, they really are good. Coffee! They have several kinds of really good coffee too. If you get the 7-Eleven app, you can get free coffee. Every time you have purchased six, the seventh is free.
