Toms River: Here Yesterday, Gone Today! The 7-11 convenience store on NJ 37 WB @ Oak Ridge (CR 527) was found to be shuttered as of today. Doors and windows are all darkened over, signage has been blacked over, and a note on the door says “Closed for Business.”
While it is random to see a 7-11 close, the competition on this corner has been fierce. The Wawa came first on this corner decades ago, and suffered a fire at one point in the early 1990s. Wawa had to close completely due to the fire, and was essentially rebuilt. During the fire closure, the 7-11 opened to serve local residents. Both stores coexisted for over 25 years on the corner, but as of today- only Wawa remains.
What will come of this vacant 7-11? Will it sit vacant for years to come? Watch in the coming weeks to see if a for sale sign gets placed out front.

Those guys just orders Chinese food like 5 days ago. To 260 route 37 west 7 eleven
Wow never heard of that before
Royal Farms or Sheetz around here would be nice … just saying.
No….. I was going to the 7-Eleven there in the 70s as it kid, and worked there a bit in the 80s. Wawa wasn’t there in the 70s (I believe it was an empty lot), but I worked there in the 80s as well. Neither building is original, but a Sev was there way before Wawa showed up. In addition, this isn’t a “random” closing: there was a sign on the door leading up to it for a few weeks. Clerks said a QuickChek is replacing 7-Eleven, taking up the empty lots along Rte 37 to Cardinal Drive (presumably Germania Ct will be closed at that corner and reopened along Cardinal Dr for residents who live behind these lots). Not certain if there will be gas pumps, though Crown Gas was located in those empty lots years ago, so maybe….
They didn’t close abruptly. They had a sign posted for over a month stating as of 6-26-19 they were shutting it down. I went to 7-11 every night before work. One of the workers stated that quick check has bought the land. 7-11 did not get good business due to the wawa next door taking it away. The previous owner sold it back to corporate which then corporate waited out 6 months to see how business was going and unfortunately it wasn’t well. I was friends with each and every person who worked in 7-11. Most of the employees work in Jackson now. It was fun while it lasted!
