Sunoco Franklin (Waco, Texas)

Rough-looking buildings. (Google Street View).
This is a 7-Eleven which I've been to a few times, gotten a plate of Tex-Mex for lunch (surprisingly decent) and located at 2500 Franklin Avenue. As of March 2013, the block had contained some rough-looking buildings, including Edwards Machine & Tool Company (2504 Franklin), Diamond M Automotive Group (2512 Franklin), and Inmon Motorcycle Sales & Service (2500 Franklin Avenue), before they all came down for a Stripes.

According to a Tweet Stripes had put out, the store opened in January 2014 as a self-branded Stripes. With the purchase of Stripes' parent Susser Stores by Sunoco, the gas brand was changed to Sunoco less than a year after the store's opening. Between 2021 and 2022 Stripes was rebranded as 7-Eleven after Sunoco divested their convenience stores.

Since the store's opening it has had a Laredo Taco Company inside. (This post was originally from Carbon-izer).
