Toms River: A few weeks ago we posted the story about the 7-11 on NJ 37 @ Hooper closing for good. We also learned that additional corporate-owned 7-11 locations will be closing in the coming weeks. Franchise stores are unaffected and will remain operational. The store on NJ 37 @ King is closed as of today with the building being dismantled and emptied. The location on US 9 @ Church with the gas station is also slated to close, unless it has already. Other 7-11 locations around Ocean County are bring reported as closed too.

If the 7-11 near you is closing or closed, please email OCSN with a photo if possible. Earlier this year it was announced that 7-11 parent company is buying Speedway gas stations to expand. Unknown if these closures are related, or just due to increased competition from Wawa and Quick Chek.
