A number of 7-Eleven stores may be set to close in the long-time slurpee capital of the world.
Two Winnipeg city councillors say company officials have told them 10 city stores are on the chopping block, but they are looking for help to avoid the drastic measure.
This isn’t the first time 7-Eleven stores in Winnipeg have faced closure,
The William Avenue 7-Eleven closed down in late 2019. It was shuttered due to crime
“Being a slurpee fan and a drink fan and all the goodies that 7-Eleven does bring, I'm a frequent flyer, so yeah, it did hit home,” says customer David Gaumond.
Gaumond says the absence of 7-Eleven impacts the neighbourhood.
"You really feel the brunt of it because after a certain time of the day there's nothing open,” he said.
