Brookhaven 5th Town Council District Councilman and Town Supervisor Dan Panico were on hand for the ceremonial ribbon cutting ceremony for a new 7-Eleven store.
This was much more than a new store opening. The 7-Eleven “Project A-Game” community outreach program donated a grant to the Suffolk County Police Department’s 5th Precinct Explorer Unit. Franchisees and store leaders like Chris Stephens are encouraged to support the community in and around their stories.
7-Eleven and Stripes stores have now awarded more than 5,000 grants, a community investment of more than $3.5 million. Grants have been used to underwrite initiatives including math and science projects, tutoring, school supplies and sporting equipment to ensure children have the resources and inspiration they need to stay in school.
