This thread is to talk about the 7-11's around the city of Calgary. This is also open to Edmontonians because they love all of the Calgary threads.
The closest "sev" to my place is on Eblow drive and 69th Ave. It's great, they even have gasoline, and they put the 8-packs of coke in the fridge so they're nice and cold right out of the box.
I went to a 7-11 in Edmonton and it was lame. The lights weren't as bright, it looked old and the cokes were warm. An overall dismal experience.

Huh?
Anyways, The Seven-Elevens are on their way down here. They're not doing so well as opposed to the Mac's.

I live between two 7-11's (17th Ave @ 28th ST SW and 26th Ave @ 29th ST SW). No Mac's nearby; 7-11 has a good market share on the Westside. I don't see them on the downside here at all.

I think you're mistaken. I just checked where I'm from in NB and its almost $1.10.

In this thread: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=142393 a user from Edmonton is asking for more Calgary threads. It's obvious by his excited tone that this is one of his top Christmas wishes. I was more than happy to oblige... 'tis the season eh.

Are you talking about the one on the corner of 36th and 39th/Whitefield Drive?
Me too. I bought their apple yesterday.
I bought a couple of Zero bars tonight.

I was 15 people behind you in line shouting to myself and throwing things.

Lots of Brown people work at 7-11....this means that I always get a family discount.

No, but I go to that one usually while i'm at work. It's a little bit older.
The Martindale one is at the corner of Martindale gate and Martindale Blvd - just north of the Westwinds Superstore there.

I go to 162 Ave and 6 St SW. I like using 7-Eleven for buying transit passes because, unlike Mac's, they'll accept credit cards.

I've been hitting up that 7-11 on 5st and 17th ave, across from the ship, y'know? Pretty well all week. Between me and the rest of the guys, we've bought them out of jolt on a few occasions. It's wacky!

I wouldn't say that. A fountain Diet Coke just doesn't taste like a fountain Diet Coke unless it's in a Big Gulp container from the 'Sev'.

Mac's doesn't take CC's? The one on 4th Ave & 5th Street SW does...

Ahhh, another joke thread.
Well, as good as the Calgary and Edmonton Sev's are, they haven't done enough to give either of their cities the title "Slurpee Capital of Canada" :D

I tried two different Mac's before giving up (and this was a while back): The one over by the Mustard Seed and the one at 68 St SE and Applewood Drive.

It is. I believe it is also the Slurpee capital of the WORLD.
This thread rocks.
7-11s in Edmonton have been closing, for some reason. I think there was a flaw in the gas station design of a few of them in Edmonton, causing soil contamination. The one on 90 ave and 99 street closed, as well as one near boonie doon mall.

I had my first slurpee of '08 today. :) Not from 7-11, but from Hi-Ho (Esso)
