7-Eleven Grand Opening Scores with Customers

It was free lunch for all as Maplewood's newest 7-Eleven held its grand opening on Springfield Avenue on Jan. 14.

The new 7-Eleven on Springfield Avenue was playing Santa on Saturday (a bit past the season!) as the owners gave away a 32" television, 5-lb. chocolate bars, gift bags, gift certificates, video games and more at the grand-opening ceremony on Jan. 14. 

Franchise owners Ray and Devan Ghetia were offering free lunch to the public, and Mayor Vic DeLuca, Deputy Mayor Kathy Leventhal and Commiteepersons Jerry Ryan, Marlon K. Brownlee and India Larrier showed up to cut the ribbon — and perhaps enjoy some free food and drink. The fun was rounded out by face painting, clowns, a prize wheel and a DJ.
