“Tiny store, has the basic necessities. Snacks, drinks, beer, ice, drinks and gas. Prices suited for a convenience store. Not much parking. Doesn’t matter though since you’re in and out quickly. Only one pump. Attendant was friendly.”

“Love this place's food. Sure they have burgers, chicken sandwiches, but their best stuff is their Mexican food. The tacos are so legit, don't be fooled by the looks of it. The food is great and a good price.”

“The 7-Eleven and Exxon Mobil combo in Bridgewater is really nice with a wide variety of food, beverage, and convenience items. They even have a section with local spirits to buy and devour after you get home from a long days work. The young man and woman working on 01/13/23 at 8pm were some of finest and kindest people working in customer service and I think they should be recognize for it. Thank you for being so patient with me at the register. The store is modern style, sleek and clean.”

“So I go into this lil store with a sweet tooth & what i found was... Candy. Lots and lots of candy.All kinds of old school candy, the kinds that were around when I was a kid.Needless to say, $21 later, I was one happy Adult... I satisfied my sweet tooth.”

“This 7-11 is a convenient place to get fuel & a fizzy drink when I come to town to check my P.O. box. The fuel pump I usually use here works well and stays on without my squeezing the handle the whole time and no ads bark at me from the pump while I am required to attend it. The traffic light out front is a relief whenever making a left turn onto Main Street. In my experience the store is consistently clean & well organized, including the restroom. A diverse variety of customers and employees contribute to a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere where people tend to hold the door for one another, smile, and on a really good day, laugh. I feel safe here. This little convenience store in the heart of the small town of Bridgewater is a perfect fit and I am glad it's here.”
