Urban Slurpee Fans Rejoice: 7-Eleven Opening 3 Stores in Detroit

Urban Slurpee fans rejoice.

The 7-Eleven corporation announced it plans to open three stores in the downtown Detroit district this year, Crain's Detroit Business reports.

There are currently no 7-Elevens in Detroit.

"Detroit's metro area is probably the largest market where we have stores, but we have no stores in the city," Stephen Oliver, regional development director for the Dallas-based convenience store chain, told Crain's at the Detroit Policy Conference today at MotorCity Casino Hotel. "So, our growth effort is to get back into the city."
