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 Ball Square White Hen has always been a bit on the shady side... spotty selection and that weird vat of pickles...

There is a 7-11 on Broadway at Cedar - but that place is sketchy too.... Maybe the Ball Square White 7-11 Hen will be much better.

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.

I really liked having White Hen around the corner from me, at Mass. Ave. and Day Street, so I could get a sandwich made at 2:45 in the morning if I felt like it. The 'Bread and Butter Konvenience [sic]' that replaced it was much less useful and much more poorly stocked. The Pemberton Market that's there now is OK, but closes at 11 pm and doesn't make sandwiches either.

For example, why is the chicken sitting on what appears to be a toilet?
