Changes are afoot with the three Stripes convenience stores in Clovis.
The stores’ liquor licenses are being leased by the 7-Eleven Corp., based in Irving, Texas, pending the transfer of ownership of dispensing liquor licenses from Stripes previous ownership to 7-Eleven according to Clovis City Clerk LeighAnn Melancon.
The actions have no impact on liquor sales at the Stripes stores at North Prince and Llano Estacado, South Prince and Mabry Drive.
In February, The News reported 7-Eleven was paying $950 million to Dallas-based Sunoco for 204 Stripes convenience stores and Laredo Taco Company restaurants in West Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
According to a report in “The Dallas Morning News,” the purchase follows the initial $3.3 billion purchase of 1,030 stores in 17 states, including Stripes stores in Texas, from Sunoco in 2018.
The transaction brought all Stripes and Laredo Taco locations across the U.S. under 7-Eleven ownership.
7-Eleven has more than 13,000 company-owned, franchised and licensed 7-Eleven, Speedway and Stripes stores in the U.S. and Canada.
Stripes has six locations locally, in Clovis, Texico and Portales.
