PASSERS-BY driving through Traralgon may have noticed developments taking place near the train station.
The new 7-Eleven service station is coming to town, at the site of the previous United.
The station is scheduled to open tomorrow (Thursday, August 28).
The company says this marks an important step in its regional expansion across the Latrobe Valley and wider Gippsland region.
The store will create around 12 new local jobs, with a store leader and team from the community ready to welcome customers day and night.
Located in a vibrant and growing regional centre, the Traralgon store offers locals and travellers 24/7 access to fuel, freshly ground coffee, food-to-go, everyday essentials and digital services including the My 7-Eleven app with fuel price lock feature.
Wherever possible, local contractors and suppliers were engaged in the store’s construction and fit-out, helping to keep investment circulating within the Gippsland region.
“We’re proud to open our first full-format store in Traralgon, a thriving community with a strong local economy and growing population,” a 7-Eleven spokesperson said. “Our team lives locally and knows this community well, which means we’re able to tailor our offer to suit the needs and preferences of Gippsland residents.
“This store embodies our mission to be my convenient neighbourhood store for Australians, offering quality, choice and convenience right on the doorstep.”
Customers are encouraged to download the My 7-Eleven app to enjoy the fuel price lock offer.
The first 1000 customers to shop at the Traralgon store and scan their My 7-Eleven app will receive a special giveaway. This launch follows a year of serving the Gippsland community through a micro-format store at the Opal Paper Mill in Maryvale, supporting more than 300 local workers.
Looking ahead, 7-Eleven continues to explore opportunities to open more stores regionally, bringing convenience and choice to even more local neighbourhoods around Australia.
