7 - Eleven to shut hundreds of stores across the US

[Deminpenn]

36. No 7-11s around my area now, but there is a very competitive market

for these new, larger "convenience" stores. We have Get-Go, formerly owned by Giant Eagle, then sold a couple years ago to the Canadian company that that owns Circle K; Sheetz and more recently Speedway. Sheetz broke the stranglehold of beer distributors on beer and the State Stores on wine and now you can get beer and wine in grocery stores and convenience stores as long as there's a dining area. All the these places now have seperate dining areas, but you never see anyone at the tables and chairs set up.

Sheetz had its "made to order" food for years. Heard their food was pretty good. Get-Go also seems to have pretty good prepared food.
