A lot of people saw this news and immediately freaked out.
One of the busiest and most important 7-11’s across Chicago recently boarded up it’s windows and doors.
So needless to say we have a lot of foot traffic and loose memories in this general area.
And needless to say we don’t want to see it abandoned over what some describe as Bad Leadership.
Well good news my friends.
If people smoked more cigs, then we wouldn’t have to close these convenience stores.
That’s probably the most important takeaway for all you vaping pussies out there.
You’re literally putting hard working families out of business by not smoking Newport 100’s.
Another important thing is that this is very complicated.
We got holding companies and Japanese operators arguing with Circle K about how things should work.
Takeaway here is that Circle K wanted to buy 7-11 last September for a couple billion.
But the Japanese operating company that owns 7-11 thought it was a bad offer that undervalued its assets.
So they didn’t take the offer, which confused a group of people known as Experts.
Or something like that?
Once we start talking about 7-11 you have to accept that people are going to take it very personally.
(Which is not a good thing.)
So just remember that in the coming weeks when countless other 7-11’s close their doors across Chicago.
It has nothing to do with the local environment for business operators.
It has nothing to do with________(obvious bad things).
It’s just so they can regroup and reopen a rebranded retailer that’s been reconsolidated.
