Well, a new 7-Eleven concept store at the corner of Alpha and Preston Road looks to change that and it's headed in an interesting direction.
A big, inflatable burrito greets guests of the new 7-11 concept at the corner Preston and Alpha Road that houses the Laredo Tacos Company restaurant.Everyone who struggled through their college years or early 20s — when good credit and extra income seemed like fairy tale wishes — has eaten"meals" from convenience stores. Those heat rollers of doom were often the last option when there was just enough room on a gas card to keep from starving.
The core concept of 7-Eleven is practically baked into our DNA. It's the place you go for gas when you're looking for an excuse to get a snack or drink while pumping gas and perhaps pack of judgment-free cigarettes. This version attempts to offer something more than a simple in-between meal or a jolt of drip coffee. That's apparent right from the entrance; there's even an elevator.
The real gem of this concept store is the Laredo Tacos bar. Although there's no drive-thru, it's a lot better than most of the"tacos" shoved through windows at fast-food joints.
