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.

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:
