The Five Towns will soon be home to its third 7-Eleven store, with the convenience store chain setting up shop at the former Shell gas station in Hewlett.
7-Eleven has already purchased the property at Peninsula Boulevard and Mill Road, and will renovate the existing 2,800 square-foot building there, according to a 7-Eleven spokesperson. The shop is slated to open in mid-December, and will feature the chain’s proprietary brands, such as Slurpee, and fresh and hot foods.
The Town of Hempstead recently granted a variance to the store for a detached, double-sided illuminated sign with a 2-foot setback off the road.
