Ferret 2,985 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 This is what was reported by the young man who walks my dogs this morning. Already getting cleaned out. Wonder what it will be? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ferret 2,985 Posted February 2 Author Report Share Posted February 2 We discussed that but I don't think so because I live down the street from both of them. I always see far more cars in the 711 than in the new Oxxo. I'm not watching 100% of the time though. I will say that both of the Oxxo's here in Riberas, are far better stocked and product is presented better than in the 711. I'm sure gonna miss those donuts. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mainecoons 5,340 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 The sheer number of Oxxos in and around this area makes me wonder if there is a deliberate strategy to drive out the competition. Hard for me to believe Riberas justifies two of them within a few blocks of each other. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mostlylost 1,485 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Unlike Oxxo which are all owned by FEMSA ( they are Coca Cola for all of Mexico), 7-Eleven is a franchise with an individual owner. Could be many reasons it is closing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dostortas 172 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Just today someone gave me directions from the 7-11. Back in the day, I remember when it was a house converted into an Italian restaurant for a while...not the yellow one that was Alejandro’s. 😎 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh geez, they were all very close to each other. Anyone remember Chef Diego had a restaurant there in Riberas? I think he may have been the very first chef at Number Four when it first opened. Wow, talk about back in the day 😝 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ferret 2,985 Posted February 8 Author Report Share Posted February 8 It is closing in March... product is getting sold off and there are fewer and fewer racks of product available. There are also definitely no more donuts. Sorry to burst your bubble there Upfront. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
artsnob 437 Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 the franchise for that store is for sale, buy it and have all the donuts you like... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ferret 2,985 Posted February 8 Author Report Share Posted February 8 UH UH. No way! I was wondering if the franchise was for sale. Then I thought, nah, nobody would be stupid enough to run down the profit line of a business before selling it. But, we are in Mexico and anything is possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
