Yes, I know about the 7-Eleven opening soon near Ditmars...One thing I can't figure out: why does everybody seem to thrill over "mom and pop" bodegas/convenience stores/newsstands? I can understand preferring "mom and pop" restaurants/eateries/coffee shops since the food and coffee is usually better and/or different than the chains. And at "mom and pop" hardware stores, for example, the service is usually much better and personal than at the chains like Lowes or The Home Depot. But a "mom and pop" bodega? They are usually dark and filthy looking and offer nothing radically different than what a 7-Eleven might sell. And most importantly, keep in mind that most 7-Elevens are indeed "mom and pop" business since they are individually owned and operated by franchisees who, in many cases, owned no-name "mom and pop" stores before signing on with 7-Eleven... |
