Bad news for El Triunfo
Mexico's answer to Wall Mart, oxxo, is planning an outlet in El Triunfo. El Triunfo needs an oxxo like the world needs genital warts. I quickly
learned to dislike the chain when they spawned like rabbits about 3-4 years ago. I am on a perosnal crusade to boycott the operation. Now that'll
send 'em a message!

You don't have to go to oxxo for a good cupa joe. Why not support the dozens of small coffee stands everywhere in the Baja instead of genital warts.

Why the hate? Is 7-11 that bad? Why not shut them down in the U.S.? We telling Mexico they can't have convenience stores is kind of hypocritical,
isn't it? If the ma & papa stores are popular, then the Oxxo won't last. If there is a market that isn't being addressed by the ma & papa
stores, the Oxxo may succeed. Either way, the consumer wins because the consumer, not the government makes the choice.

And more 7-11's are popping up in San Diego. The corporation is buying up empty buildings, and turning them into 7-11 stores. At least there will be
a business at that location, instead of just a boarded up building.

Yeah, I do.
I also like 7-11 coffee. I have never found a small coffee stand that has GOOD Joe. I don't do starbucks in the US or Baja, but DeVolada in Ensenada
has decent coffee
PS: in "the baja"....are you Canadien?????

I'm not too thrilled with 7-11. When the 7-11 on the south side of San Felipe next to the gas station was an AM/PM they had the best hotdogs and
hamburgers around with plenty of stuff to put on them. After changing to 7-11 it all went down hill.

What a load of crap. Get down off your high horse and smell the roses. I’m too old to suffer fools espousing antiquated Reganomics and wagging the
flag of capitalism. The truth is that mega chains are NOT good for the consumer. With the demise of the mom and pop’s comes the demise of choice.
The local producer of hielitos or assorted nuts and snacks hasn’t a snowballs chance in hell of showing up in 7 come 11 or oooooxxo. If you are happy
with one brand of snacks and one brand of beer with several different percentages of water then you can see the future at your nearby oxxo. By the by
I never said anything about their right to build more stores. My point was that an oxxo would be out of place in El Triunfo and that additionally I
would not set foot in one.
