I have a particular fondness for the 7-Eleven, likely because I pass by it almost daily on my way to Collegetown or back to campus (honestly, it's like a second home at this point). This spot has become my go-to for quick snacks or a bite from the hot food display. They offer a variety of foods, including hotdogs, burgers, chicken wings, chicken tenders, and more (basically, if it's fried or fits in a bun, they've got it).
One feature I appreciate is the high chair seating, which makes it convenient to grab something and eat right there (perfect for when you're too lazy to walk and chew gum at the same time). Despite not being the largest 7-Eleven I've visited, it boasts a wide selection, and items are typically well-stocked (it's like a mini treasure hunt, but you always win).
The person behind the counter is super caring. Once, I was wandering around looking for spoons and utensils, and he noticed and handed me exactly what I needed (talk about service!). They also have a selection of imported Japanese goods, which means I don't miss the city as much (who knew 7-Eleven could be a portal to my favorite NYC haunts?). Fun fact: a student once filmed a documentary on this very location, showcasing the daily routine and the ins and outs of the place (yes, this 7-Eleven has its own claim to fame).
The location is incredibly convenient, and as long as I'm a student here, I'll likely remain a loyal patron (if they had a frequent flyer program, I'd be a platinum member by now). For those who frequent 7-Eleven as much as I do, I highly recommend downloading their app. It offers discounts and a point system, making it easier to enjoy your favorites at a lower cost (because who doesn't love getting rewards for eating snacks?). read more
