7-11 is closing // selling 19 stores across Jersey.

The sold stores will not have the 7-11 branding which means Newark loses another powerhouse company, like when we lost the McDonald's on Broad Street.

Wendy's opened up on Broad/Market recently, but I wish I existed in a timeline where we got to keep everything and then build more.

We need a freaking Target downtown too. Idc, we need one.

Lol at 7/11, a store that sells heat lamp hot dogs and diabetes in a giant cup, being a "powerhouse company."

No way we get a target downtown any time soon with the one in Kearny about to open up, would be nice though I agree

I heard Burlington was supposed to come to Newark between the Newark Board of Ed and Prudential Building.

Yeah I’ve read that too I believe it’s still the plan. That would be a great addition to downtown that would actually cater to native newarkers so I hope it happens.

They kicked out the exiting tenants, did a lot of knocking things down, and have done no work in 3-4 weeks since
