It will be in the BB&T Building's concourse.

A little late but I was looking for urban brewery examples and came across this 7-Eleven in Denver...



Quote7-Eleven at 2341 East Colfax Avenue, winner in "Main Street Transformation" category. The new, two-story store is a prime example of Main Street Zoning, with the building coming right up to the street, and the parking put in the back. "Denver urban corridors come alive," the award proclaims.

For those interested in a free slurpee today, evidently today is "SlurpFREE Day".  If you stop by 7-11 between 11am and 7pm you can get one free.

I stopped in the 7-11 last night for the first time and immediately had an out-of-body experience.  I thought I had been transported to the southside.  I grabbed my coffee, my water, and exited the building.  Thank God a scruffy man was there to bum a dime -- it grounded me back to my surroundings.  :)

^^^I might have saw the same guy there the other day, as I ducked and weaved through the parked cars to visually elude him LOL. That Union St 7 Eleven should be a big cash cow, but I'm kinda worried about the one on Julia & Forsyth (DT's lack of foot traffic & no gas station) Hopefully they are doing good over on Julia.

Every time I drive by (2x a day minimum) I see at least three or four people milling around in there. I think the proximity to the bus station and the courthouse really helps foot traffic.

I almost always have to wait in line when I go, but then they usually only have one person working the counter.

7-11 is gone, now a Chevron.

to clarify this is the one on Main Street. The one on Forsyth is still 7-11.
