They are also putting one in where the gas station was at the east end of Colony Plaza.

yes that's correct
I can't believe how long this conversion from a Shell station with a mini mart to a 7-Eleven is taking...must be costing the owner a lot in lost revenue
when it opens they better go 24/7 vs. 7/11 as they're going to compete with Walmart on gasoline...and with a new Dunkin Donuts for coffee & donuts

It seems to be still listed on 7-11's website as available to be franchised. I thought it was going to be a Costco :) and would have much preferred a WAWA to 7-11..

If not there is one going up there Actually I think he means 44A (behind the gun place) which is where it is as stated in OP. Unless there is a second one going up about 1 mile away.

1. Powell Rd & 44A, next to Shooters World
2. Beaumont development on 466A, just east of Powell Rd.
3. East end of Colony Plaza
4. West side of 301, just south of 466.

Lord knows how we need more Big Bite Hot Dawgs and Giant Slurpees. Philadelphia put in "sugary drink tax" and now everyone crosses over the border to the 7 11 in Montgomery County 3 feet over the line. The mayor there thinks people are human cows to be miled.

The apartment dwellers need a fine dining location for evening meals.

If I owned a business in Phil would not exactly think nice thoughts about the mayor

Have lots of 7-Eleven‘a here & depending on who gets elected & the way the world is going I really don’t think they’ll make it, but it’s a chain operation & 7-Eleven will probably keep them running. But they’re more expensive than most gas stations. I only go there only if it’s the only thing close by. You would think TV could think of something better to bring to the TV. Well if everyone wants it I hope it goes well.

Have 2 7-11s on my way to anywhere. Stopped for the first time in 20 plus years. Is was little upkept, coffee pot was not something I would have gotten a cup from.but since it’s a franchise no point in complaining. I left and went to speedway, got gas and a just brewed every 15 minutes Coffee. I prefer a wawas but none up north

7-Eleven - ugh. Why can’t we get something healthy and nutritious like a Krispy Kreme

Yes, you’re right about the coffee it is good! It’s just me when I said they were expensive. What I buy I can buy it cheaper than going to a gas station. As big as the Flying J is I’m surprise they’re as expensive as they are. 7 Eleven might be cheaper than them.

TV didn’t bring them here , it’s private property, they came because of TV and the steady growth of the villages , which will attract many more businesses,with more and more choices for us to enjoy

The best turnpike coffee we have found is Pilot, next is probably WAWA and Sheetz
