7-Eleven (7-11) JFK Boulevard Jersey City

Del — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 22:30:12 +0000

7-Eleven on the boulevard. Taken Sept 2010.

This is the newest 7-Eleven (7-11) store in Journal Square. It opened sometime in October 2010, less than a year after the first 7-11 opened in December 2009 at the corner of Sip Avenue and Bergen Avenue.

7-Eleven
Description: 24-hour Convenience Store, Snacks, Food, Beverages
Location: 3080 John F. Kennedy Boulevard next to gas station between St. Paul Avenue and Route 139
Phone: (201)798-8811

I haven’t been here yet but being on the boulevard next to the gas station, this store target motorists and drivers. I think it’s safe to assume that the foot traffic is better at 7-11 Sip/Bergen Avenue.

Vito’s Arcade Barbershop: Gone?

Del — Sun, 16 May 2010 21:15:04 +0000

Sign is gone, shutters are down.

Seems like Vito’s Arcade Barbershop on Summit Avenue near Five Corners is gone. Earlier this week, I saw the sign on the ground in front of the closed shop. I drove by the other day, saw the sign gone. Barbershop still shut.

What kind of Jersey City business will replace Vito’s Barbershop?

Taj Mahal - Newark Avenue Entrance (taken May 9, 2010)

Taj Mahal Restaurant on Newark Avenue (just off of Five Corners) finally opens in Journal Square after more than 2 years of construction. What took them so long, I don’t know. The Indian Cuisine has two entrances: one on Newark Avenue (main) and another on Summit Avenue.

Now Open: Apna Bazaar Cash and Carry in Jersey City

Del — Fri, 07 May 2010 17:10:11 +0000

APNA BAZAAR Cash and Carry finally opened yesterday (May 6, 2010) after what seems an eternity of building construction. This Apna Bazaar is different from the one on Newark Avenue, just a couple of blocks north of Indian Square.

Now we know what type of business will replace the defunct Tiffin Box. Although the construction isn’t finished yet, the building on John F. Kennedy Blvd (between Cottage Street and Newark Avenue) now has a sign that says “Coming Soon: Apna Bazar” — a grocery and a place where you can buy fresh fruits and vegetables.

Jersey City Food: Sip PIZZA

Del — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 16:11:52 +0000

Sip Pizza is just one of the local businesses that opened in the past month. It is located across various Delis near DMV-MVC Jersey City. If you’re coming from from the PATH station, just walk east of Sip Avenue on to Summit Av.

The fast food features .99c pizza, which seems to be an attractive price based on the number of people I see there everytime I pass/drive by the place. As for the pizza itself, I haven’t tried it yet.

Jersey City Food: Kultural Kuisines on the Boulevard

Del — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 04:16:14 +0000

Kultural Kuisines opened late November of 2009. So why exactly am I posting this restaurant? Well, it is because this place has been the home of two previous failed restaurants (can you guess without clicking the link?) in a span of 1 year. Makes me wonder: For how long will this business stay open?

[UPDATE] 7-11 Journal Square opened on the last day of the year 2009. Photo above was taken on New Year’s Eve. I went inside today and it looks like the management will be adding up more shelves.

7-Eleven at the corner of Bergen Avenue and Sip Avenue

Slurpee anyone? The spot vacated by Washinton Mutual (WaMu) last February will now become 7-Eleven. I saw some construction going on inside a couple of days ago (Christmas Eve). 7-11 is just one of the few businesses that opened/will open this month (will post some soon). Makes me wonder, how many 7-Eleven’s do we have here in Jersey City?
