In a world where a 7-Eleven store can be found almost as easily as the nearest Starbucks, it's easy…read moreto overlook the fact that - even though they are governed by an international mass conglomerate corporation - most 7-Eleven stores are individually owned and operated. The Lakeway 7-Eleven is one of those stores. It is owned by a kindly family man who has put a huge effort into make this as "local" as it can get. He serves our neighborhood proudly, and he and his staff always greet us with a smile. My kids have been regulars here for YEARS (hello, Slurpees anyone?) and they are treated like family. If one twin shows up without the other he's always asked, "Hey, where's your brother?" It's like the little mom-n-pop shop of years-gone-by, just with a 7-Eleven sign in front. Oh, and the coffee is cheap, too!

Great job Jack and happy to have you as a neighbor. However you do have one problem with an emplyee that needs correcting! Brian Hackner has taken a very inappropriate liking with my wife and will not stop seducing her everytime she comes in! She has repeatedly told him no, I'm married! The situation is starting to create up to Stalker Static since Brian Hackner has found out what her phone number is and I happened to get his text message because I borrowed her phone. Brian Hackner has been told multiple times by both my wife and I to stop. Today on 4th of July Jack, your employee, Brian Hackner, leaves his little cash drawer right in front of you to try and seduce my wife once again spoiling our Holiday with his disrespect! Sincerely, Mr. Alfred J Kiefer Jr.

It offers pretty much your typical convenience store fare: candy, cigs, chips, drinks, a small selection of groceries, and (of course) beer. It's a great place to pop in if you need something quick and don't want to make the trek to the supermarket. They also offer a great selection of local beer as well as the usual national brands. Would be great to see them expand to offer a growler bar or even a deli - both of which would surely be popular in this area!

For me, Silver Beach epitomizes all that is sophisticated and urban…read more Why? Because, when my dad moved from the middle of nowhere, Washington, to the great big town of Bellingham, Silver Beach Grocery store was about a block and a half away from our house. A block and a half away! A store! That sells stuff! Not ten miles away, but a block and a half away! Oh, the wonders of city life! Every night I would hope that we ran out of some crucial dinner time ingredient, like milk, so that we could run down to the store and buy some more. (The hope was not as strong as my unfulfilled desire that one night my dad would *forget* about dinner entirely, and we'd be forced to order pizza and have it delivered right to our door!) Besides milk, shady magazines, and cigarettes, Silver Beach also had a reliable stock of Big Hunk candy bars, which besides being the best tasting candy bars (when microwaved for 18 seconds), also have the best name. I got one almost every day the summer I was 13, more because I was bored and that's the only activity I could afford than because of any merit of Big Hunks. I was so enamored with Silver Beach that I told everyone I lived in the Silver Beach neighborhood (which is so small as to be practically non-existent and certainly unheard of) and I gave directions to my new city house from the Silver Beach grocery store, despite the fact that everyone I talked to would all be coming from the opposite direction. Since then, I've grown less enamored of this neighborhood store, but it still holds a special place in my heart.
