5 Star updated review for really friendly service and a safe environment.
A 7-Eleven is a 7-Eleven, but what sets this one apart is its location in the heart of residential Audubon Park, where it's been for many decades, and the staff.
They carry the usual goods, including tons of snacks, some toys, slurpees, hot dogs, bottled drinks, etc. they have a couple of gas pumps and air as well.
The last time I went in, I was with my niece who begged for me to take her to 7-Eleven for her 5th birthday day with her tía (me). It was an odd request, but she was so excited that I had to make it happen. The two women working that day were nice, but when I told them about her birthday and that all she wanted in this world was a slurpee, they literally sang her happy birthday and gushed about her! They made her smile from ear to ear! Beyond that one occasion, anytime I go in I have really lovely interactions with the staff.
And, it's worth noting that I feel safe going to this 7-Eleven as a woman at night. That's more than I can say about every gas station, and it's likely due to the nature of the residential location in a very visible spot.
Overall, I really appreciate the folks who work here- they made my niece's day! read more
