Our 7-Eleven stores were Christy's before reverting to the 7-Eleven name. Since they returned they've done little or nothing to expand or renovate. Cumberland Farms has been the most aggressive in making over their stores, with Circle K doing the most acquisitions.

Cumberland Farms are waayyyy better. But, sadly WAWAs are taking over here in NJ....super size-aka-non-feel good and over priced conveience stores.

So. 7-Eleven in Southington didn't quite make it to 5 years. They closed last week.

An article on the Meriden-Record Journal's website confirms the former 7 Eleven is becoming ugh, another Urgent Care Center. The article was about the progress of the new development next door that also includes an Aldi, a Chipotle, Chick-Fil-A

In the state of Wisconsin, a state dominated by Kwik Trip, there are a few 7-Eleven locations in Milwaukee and Madison, but none in Green Bay.

In the near future, 7 Eleven will be rolling out the cards and keyring fobs of the 7 Rewards program that is currently availible only on smartphones

7 Eleven has begun converting the 1,030 A-Plus Convenience stores they acquired from Energy Transfer Partners' Sunoco gas stations.  These locations will have Sunoco branded gas and 7 Eleven products

7 Eleven has also started using 1 cup design for Fountain Drinks, Iced Coffee, and Slurpee.  This pic is the Extra Large Size.  There is 3 different UPC codes on the cup, 1 for Fountain Drink, 1 for Iced Coffee, and 1 for Slurpee

7-Eleven using 1 cup design for the drinks you mentioned appears to be a much more efficient move from a cost standpoint as they will save money on using 1 design compared to 3 separate designs.

We have 2 Sunoco stations in Southington,CT - 464 Queen Street next to Price Chopper and Hartford Health Care and one at 956 West Street near Target and The I-84 On/Off Ramps. Being that it's right off the Exit 31, it and the Mobil station across the Street have the highest gas prices in Southington. Anyway I don't know if either of the stores at these 2 stations are A Plus or not. If either of them is, it will mark the return of 7 Eleven to Southington. They previously had a stand alone at 777 Queen Street, which is now Go Urgent Care and a dentist office.

There are also 2 Sunoco stations in Bristol, CT - 510 Farmington Avenue near King Street and 201 North Street at the corner of Burlington Avenue. Again I don't know if either of these locations is a A Plus store. Either way 7 Eleven has an older, run down, frequently robbed stand alone store on Riverside Avenue.

And they have gone back to using Big Gulp for their cups.
Even the old medium "Gulp" cup is now called Lil' Big Gulp.

Interestingly there is no 7-Eleven logo to be found on the cups, probably so it can be used in the other stores they own like Speedway.

Yes, the gulp line has been showing up in Speedway locations as well for some things, though most times only the soda/slurpee type. 

Coffee and iced coffee cups are generally still Speedway labelled, which may have something to do with the recent switches in NY to paper cups for hot drinks and that they have had iced coffee for $1 any size, and the machines are set for the 16/24 oz. cups they have which don't precisely match the 7/11 sizes.  Just once one of the stores was out of the 24 oz. size and stuck in the other cups, but the brew machine didn't totally fill one even at the 24 oz. setting, which it will do with the standard cups.
