Popular Hudson Valley 7-Eleven Location Now 24 Hours Again

Oh, thank Heaven! The popular area 7-Eleven store had changed their hours back in 2022.

We covered the story about one of the last remaining 7-Eleven stores in the Hudson Valley cutting back their hours back in November of 2022. The long standing store had been 24 hours forever, but due to a staffing shortage, they decided they would not be open 24 hours anymore. See the story here.

It was a big disappointment seeing that the 7-Eleven that I would frequent often was no longer open all night. It was convenient to have the place so close to home available to me whenever needed.

7-Eleven Hooker Ave, Poughkeepsie

We stopped in at the 7-Eleven in question recently, located at 266 Hooker Ave , in Poughkeepsie and found out that they are once again 24 hours. They reportedly found a new overnight guy to work after over a year and a half, and the 7-Eleven is back to being 24 hours, as it should be!

The 7-Eleven on Hooker Ave. is really the only well-stocked 24 hr convenience store in the area, in addition to being one of the only three remaining 7-Eleven stores in the Hudson Valley (along with locations on Route 17K in Newburgh and Route 17M in Monroe.

In 2022, 7-Eleven acquired 3,800 Speedway locations in 38 states with a plan to expand even further. The Speedway stores are in the process of being turned into 7-Eleven stores, so at some point, the Hudson Valley will be flooded with 7-Eleven stores, kinda just like the old days. For a guy that is a big fan of nostalgia, I'm on board with this!  Can't wait to start seeing more 7-Eleven stores popping up all over the valley.
