7-Eleven (closed)
7-Eleven #17466 (closed) [3,920 square feet including neighboring tenant]
9903A Jefferson Ave, Newport News, VA
This location was built and opened in 1975. It relocated into a newly-built store on this property in 2013. Ironically, this new store is right next door to another former 7-Eleven, currently Big Al's Mufflers. I don't personally have photos of either of those places so for now check them out on Google Street View.
I've noticed recently that it's becoming rarer and rarer in this area to find 7-Elevens still operating out of these older a-frame stores. Usually it's a Walmart-like situation where they re-build a bigger store a few blocks away from the old one, though there are a few that remain on the original property. I wanna say its sad to see these older stores close up, but to be honest the newer stores are an improvement in every way so its no loss to me.
