After Delay, Progress At Bath Beach 7-Eleven

Ned Berke -

It’s several months later than expected, but at least part of the new 7-Eleven coming to Cropsey Avenue and 20th Avenue is now open.

Our Elle Spektor filled us in that the gas station portion of the operation is now open to customers. Work at the site stopped or slowed for several months, but Spektor reports to Bean that workers were inside the store yesterday and construction is moving forward.

We first announced plans to bring the franchise convenience store to the area way back in July 2013, where it replaces a Shell gas station.

In late September, we revisited the site and noted the soon-to-open A-Plus/Sunoco on 19th Avenue and Cropsey Avenue. Those working on construction at the 7-Eleven told us at the time that it would be open within a week.

The 7-Eleven site in September, when workers told the Bean that they would be open in one week.
