7-11 may have bought out a profitable business to add to their own, but they from what I have been told they will not change much of the Tedeschi's way. I am not 100% sure about everything, but I am almost certain Tedeschi's will remain the same name, but just have a different company owning them.

I hope you're right, but ....

that's not what happened when 7-11 gobbled up White Hen Pantry.

I wish American 7/11 is like

By RhoninFire on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 11:53am.

I wish American 7/11 is like Japan 7/11. If 7/11 here is like their counterparts in Japan with its cleanliness and better tasting food (both Japanese and American offerings), that would be awesome.

My personal favorite

is the one in Poland. They call it 11-7

How many employees in the Polish 11-7 do you think it takes to change a light bulb?

By Steeve on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 1:16pm.

Since they're likely those big fluorescent bulbs, I'm guessing two?

Given that Poland ranks higher than the US in IQ, far ahead in math, reading, and science, I'd imagine "fewer than the average American".

Japan

By Steeve on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 1:11pm.

While I thought the 7-Elevens in Tokyo were a bit more delightful than their American counterparts, and the quality of food a bit better, I think a lot of that has to do with American food generally being absolute garbage, whereas staple fast food and snack items in Japan are not. It's a low bar they're clearing.

I could really go for some nori maki arare right about now. Perhaps I'd wash it down with one of the four thousand varieties of coffee in a can.

Those quality 7-Elevens and

Those quality 7-Elevens and Family Marts in Japan come in handy when you wake up at 4:30 AM because of the time difference and you want something to eat and some coffee and nothing else opens for 2 hours. And unlike in America the food they sell doesn't even give you diabetes!

Consolidation continues

By anon on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 11:56am.

NOT GOOD, as the drugstore monopoly of CVS and Walgreens can attest, among many other examples. Tedeschis often have awesome deli and sandwich/sub sections, and better selection imo vs 7-Eleven. Now pretty much everything is owned by some mega corp out if a suburban Dallas office park.

Boar's Head

By Cappy on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 1:07pm.

Ain't no 7-11 got no Boar's Head cole cuts man! I want some cole cuts! I want some cole cuts!

sandwiches

By anon on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 1:15pm.

Damn straight. If this is the end of turkey gobblers I'm gonna be pissed.

I miss White Hen Pantry

By Ron Newman on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 2:23pm.

another local chain that 7-Eleven bought a few years ago. You could have a sandwich custom-made for you at 3 am if you wanted.

Some other convenience chains no longer with us: L'il Peach, Christy's Market, Sunnyhurst Farms, Sunny Corner Farms, Store 24. Tedeschi's bought the last one, but I have no idea what happened to the other chains.

Richdale on the North Shore.

By Scratchie on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 2:39pm.

Richdale on the North Shore. Don't know if there are any of those left.

Christy's

By JonT on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 2:59pm.

Christy's was bought out by 7-11 several years ago.

I thought

By cybah on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 3:05pm.

Christy's became Tedeschi's...

I do know White Hen became 7-11.

Store 24 became Tedeschi's

There's a Sunnyhurst farms left in Maplewood Square in Malden.

L'il Peach & Christy's Market

By anon on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 3:07pm.

L'il Peach & Christy's Market we also gobbled up by 7-11

Drugstore tri-opoly

You forgot Rite Aid.

Oddly, Rite-Aid has been

By cowsandmilk on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 4:01pm.

Oddly, Rite-Aid has been largely driven out of the city of Boston (only 4 locations left), but not Cambridge or Somerville.

They are the worst.

By anon on Wed, 05/20/2015 - 7:06am.

It's an element of Lays Foods. They made a bunch of manic location grabs around here that blew up on them.A second site in Central Square and a site in Harvard Square both closed.

They probably want this lot for location value, especially in New Hampshire. They also get a bunch of sites with Beer/Wine sales options.

NOOOOOOO!

By anon on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 12:09pm.

again: NOOOOOO!

Bozo

By scollaysq on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 12:31pm.

When I was a kid we did all our weekly shopping at the Tedeschi's Supermarket in Hanover.

One weekend, Bozo-the REAL Bozo, Frank Avruch - was there in full regalia at the front entrance promoting something, maybe the show, I was too little to know what exactly.

Anyway he tweaked my nose, and a penny fell out.

That's what I think of when someone says 'Tedeschis' even though now they mean the mini-marts

What I think of when someone says "Tedeschi's"

By Sorta Speak It on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 1:04pm.

Is one of two things: either German people in Italy, or that blues singer who is always screaming.

What I think of

By Cappy on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 1:08pm.

Is a cold winter's day at the north pole!

Oh wait no, That's when I eat a York Peppermint Patty.

NEVERMIND!

Susan Tedeschi?

By MC Pee Pants on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 5:21pm.

Same family!

BTW: Tedeschi's used to be called Curtis Compact.

Bozo

By Lisfnord on Wed, 05/20/2015 - 11:24am.

This comment made me smile. Frank is my cousin and he's just as great a person out of the makeup as he was in it.

I'm ok as long as they still sell EZ Wider 1 1/2

By anon on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 12:41pm.

As Tedeschi's does and as Store 24 did in the same location.

Woah man that's a phat one you're rolling..

So does that mean...

By coffeeweasel on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 2:16pm.

...that the empty space at Harvard St & Comm Ave, that was supposed to be a Tedeschi's last September, will now not be a 7-11 instead?

7-Eleven's real owners

By Mark- on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 5:47pm.

Actually, 7-Eleven became such a successful operation in Japan, the Japanese division bought out the Americans. If you go to http://7andi.com you'll find the press release detailing how Tedeschi's is the newest subsidiary of Seven and i Holdings of Tokyo, Japan.

I wish our stores were as good as theirs!

needs "www"

By Ron Newman on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 6:02pm.

Why this is still necessary in 2015, I don't know, but you have to go to http://www.7andi.com or it won't work.

Here's the press release you mentioned.

Is it just me

By Dave on Tue, 05/19/2015 - 11:33pm.

or is 7/11 Trucks Band a dumb name?
