At long last, the 7-Eleven at 1509 Sheepshead Bay Road has been cleared out after nine months of serving as a symbol of corporate callousness on the shopping strip since Superstorm Sandy.

Unlike other 7-Elevens in the area, this location was owned and operated by the corporate headquarters in Dallas, Texas, not by a small, local owner with a franchise agreement.

And so, 10 months after it [opened in January 2012](/7-eleven-is-now-open-on-sheepshead-bay-road/), when Superstorm Sandy crashed through, drowning local businesses, those kind folks in Texas just kind of shrugged it off, leaving their storefront a damp, padlocked mess for nine more months, until it was finally cleared out last week.

Meanwhile, local mom-and-pops sought to bring back the neighborhood, reopen their stores, and revive Sheepshead Bay Road. It was a sad juxtaposition, and the storefront’s rotting carcass served as an unfortunate welcome mat to would-be visitors getting off the train (although the overflowing trash cans don’t help much either).

Glad to see it gone. Hopefully the next tenant will give a damn about our neighborhood.
