NYC in 2017: A 7-Eleven and an ATM on Every Corner of Manhattan
“Last July, 28th Street sold 8,000 Slurpees for an average price of $2 each. On its best day, it sold 291. (Slurpees, Natapraya tells me, have ‘unbelievable’ sales numbers in Manhattan.) But back then Jemal’s gross profit on the drinks was a paltry 62 percent — he was losing too many bins of syrup to expiration because of overordering.”
— The rise of the New York 7-Eleven: “134 stores by 2017 is the target for Manhattan.” The future’s up to you! You buy a Slurpee, you seal the deal.
