So much for “walkable urban mixed-use.”
A 7-Eleven store is coming soon to Zang Boulevard at West Seventh Street in the Bishop Arts area. It’s across the street from a CVS store built in 2017 and not far from where Central Market has plans to build a grocery.
The new convenience store is just outside of a zoning district that requires urban form, such as sidewalk-facing buildings and a mix of residential and commercial uses.
7-Eleven opened a test store, complete with the lauded Laredo Taco Co., on Sylvan Avenue last year. The new store is expected to open early next year.
