7-11 is looking to open up in the Treehouse Center over by Folsom High.

Sounds like an ideal location and nice to see new biz in town

When I moved to Folsom 10 years ago , I was amazed that there were no 7=11 stores. I really do not care that one is coming but it was interesting that there was NOT one for so many years.

I doubt the owner of the new high end salon that moved in there recently is saying the same thing.

Some of the salons I've been in offer you something to drink ranging from water to a glass of wine. It might be a convenience for them to have next door.

there's one over by the old high school (now Sutter Middle) off Riley.
I agree it's a perfect location for one.

i would go there to get a slurpee when it's 100 degrees out!

its funny how 7-11 wants to be near a school, yet when the high school was near Circle K on Natoma, they had a policy of only three kids and no back packs in the school at the same time because shop lifting was so bad.

Is it 7-Eleven or Circle K near Sutter Middle? Has it always been? I guess I get confused...
Yes, teens would be a target demographic yet at the same time difficult to manage!

I believe there are actually three Circle Ks in our area. I think the one at the corner of Natoma & Riley used to be a 7-Eleven, but I'm pretty sure it's a Circle K now. There's also a Circle K at the Shell gas station on Coloma, which is where a lot of the students go. There's another one further up Natoma across from City Hall & by the car wash.

Don't forget the Circle K on Iron Point near the movie theaters and Outlets.

OMG! a 7-11 !!! it's going to bring around regular people who drink slurpees and buy beer!

OH NOES!!!!!!!

The uppity snobs at the nearby high end salon paying $150 for a $20 haircut are going to get oh so upset when they have to put up with normal people going to 7-11, I honestly don't know how they will be able to handle it, what a tragedy, oh the horror of it all.

Boy, that was a broad and unflattering characterization of that salon's clientele. Angry much? Who doesn't like a slurpee on a hot day?

yea!!! Slurpees. I have never been to a Circle K in my life but I would go to 7-11 tomorrow if it were here! Nothing like a slurpee after a softball/soccer/football game. We used to ride in the back of my dad's truck (can't do that anymore) whether we won or lost. Great memories that I'd love to pass on to my kids!

I do believe The Dude was sarcastically responding to Sandman's post and not actually characterizing the clientele.
