What will become of the Ball Square White Hen Pantry?

7-Eleven buys New England Pantry

I don't think this is good news for our neighborhood convenience store and deli: "The company anticipates that stores operating under the White Hen Pantry brand will begin converting to stores to the 7-Eleven brand in 2010."

The White Hen carries a small selection of interesting and real-sugar-based sodas, and the have from time to time carried Moon Brine pickles, which are made in JP and are the best pickles I have ever eaten.

A 7-Eleven will almost assuredly not carry these items.
