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."

I'm all for this. 7-11 means there will be an ATM convenient to my house and things will be cheaper. I hope they can keep some of the deli items around, but frankly, they're not that stellar, so it wouldn't be a loss.

Ball Square already has an ATM, at Winter Hill Bank. That's right across the street from the White Hen. It's even a member of the SUM network.
