Princeton Planning Board Approves 7-11 at Former West Coast Video Site

The Princeton Planning Board approved plans for a 7-11 at the former West Coast Video site on Nassau Street, the Princeton Packet reports.

The 7-11 was first proposed in July.

Since then, Princeton Council passed an ordinance that would limit the hours of operation of businesses in residential hours. Businesses would have to close between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. Generally, 7-11 is open 24 hours a day.

While some people in that part of town have opposed the idea, at least one person supports it.

On Dec. 5, resident Jim Levine wrote a Letter to the Editor to Princeton Patch saying he compares 7-11 to Davidson’s, an old convenience store that was open in the area 20 years ago.
