“For the past 20 years I've frequently visited the White Marsh 7-Eleven. Since I have very few complaints with the store, I give it a 4⭐ rating. Over the past decade + the area has expanded, making room for new businesses and homes. As intended, the population grew as well. Trending retailers were constantly coming and going in attempts to build revenue. However, the stand alone 7-Eleven held its ground and remained open serving passerbys and regular customers 24/7. Standing just a couple minutes from the beltway, 711 has a prime location for last minute drivers. It serves as a fast paced and convenient stop for just about anything you're looking for in a hurry. Most people traditionally stop for gas, coffee, and tobacco. Others stop for snacks, hot and cold to go foods, sanitary and basic health items, ice, gift cards, knick knacks and small toys, phone and car chargers, pet food, and don't forget a cold SLURPEE or BIG GULP. An ATM is also inside so customers can grab some cash for their shopping trips. The only thing missing is a public bathroom 😐 Honestly, I don't have too many negative things to say about the story. With a large parking lot and 10 or more gas pumps available it's easy to get in and out. Yet, the inside is not so nice. The store is actually pretty small and feels very confined especially during busy times. There's not a lot of lighting and the store feels a little gloomy. In the past year or so, the store upgraded their fountain soda machine. Anxious to try, I was disappointed in the taste of the coke and other offered drinks. In my opinion they just taste different and since I've stopped buying these drinks.”
