When I heard that 7-Eleven had bought the chain months(?) ago, I figured the Ball Square Pantry was going to go. After all, it was a CVS, until the one at Medford St. opened. Perhaps someone will take it over, like the Pantry that used to be at Porter Square.

Hey U.Hub commenters - I handle promotions for 7-Eleven and just found out that the White Hen Pantry store in Somerville is on the schedule to be converted to a spiffy new 7-Eleven later this summer. It's on the list... Slurpees and a big opening party are coming. When 7-Eleven improves a store, they also improve the area around the store - it takes time, but it'll happen. There are 58 White Hen stores scheduled for conversions to 7-Elevens, and it is a huge job - everything from the computer system, merchandise, upgrades to the store's interior and exterior, and of course, installing the roller grill and Slurpee machine. Keep an eye out. We have a Facebook page for "7-Eleven New England Celebrations" to post updates and events for all the stores, if you are interested.
