7-Eleven buys Tedeschi's

[ron_newman]

The national 7-Eleven chain has bought the local Tedeschi's chain.

From the news report, it's not clear whether the Tedeschi name will disappear, and whether the merger will result in store closures. 7-Eleven currently has a store at Mass Ave and Day Street, three blocks from the Tedeschi store in Davis Square.

When 7-Eleven bought the White Hen Pantry chain a few years ago, they closed White Hen's Ball Square store, a couple blocks from 7-Eleven's store at Broadway and Cedar.

I'm still sad about the White Hen. :-(

Hell, I'm still sad about the White Hen that used to be where 7-Eleven is now, even though that was years ago. You could go there at 3 am and have a sandwich custom-made for you.

Well, there go those Friday Freebies at Tedeschi...

I'm betting the name goes away and they sell off the Davis Sq location because it's too close to the Mass Ave 7-11.

What do they give away on Fridays? I'm not in there often enough to have noticed this promotion.

Every week, they have a promotion on their Facebook page. Go in with a printout for that week or display it on your smartphone and get whatever they have for that week. Every week, it's different, but it can be something like an energy bar, a soda, yogurt, chips, gum or a candy bar.

Here's a link to the page:

I bet they keep the Davis Square location. "Three blocks" is a bit misleading. The Mass Ave 7-Eleven is a third of a mile outside of the center of Davis Square and not a convenient place at all for people who walk to or from Davis Square for T access unless they already live near Mass Ave. If they were going to close a location it would make more sense to me to close the Mass Ave 7-Eleven (how does that place even stay in business across the street from Pemberton Farms?)

7-Eleven is open 24 hours. Pemberton Farms is open 7 am to 10 pm.

I don't think there's much overlap between the two stores' merchandise.
