seven11-011.jpgWhile heading back to our van, after an enjoyable lunch at The Playwright Restaurant & Bar in South Boston , my friends and I stopped at 7-Eleven to purchase some bottled water. We were pleased to find this 7-Eleven fully wheelchair accessible.

The entrance to this 7-Eleven is wheelchair accessible for it is a cement slope and not a step. You will need help with opening the entry door for it is not automatic.

They sell many items such as; prepared food items, milk, bakery fresh cookies, soft drinks, hot coffee and much more. All saleable items are accessible and within my reach; all counters are wheelchair accessible; even the self-serve soft drink fountain and counter with hot coffee is within my reach. MBTA passes are sold here as well. The cashier counter is wheelchair accessible; I had no problem paying for my bottle of water.

I give this 7-Eleven FOUR STARS for wheelchair accessibility. In order to earn the Fifth Star, they would simply need to install an automatic door so a wheelchair can enter independently.
