Open around the clock with fountain drinks, hot food, and a walk-in beer cooler, the 7-Eleven at 4527 Mission Bay Dr., 92109, catches commuters and beachgoers on the main route into Mission Bay. Founded in 1927 as the Southland Ice Company in Dallas, the chain introduced its signature Slurpee in 1966 and the Big Gulp in 1976, and today operates as a subsidiary of Japan's Seven & I Holdings. This franchise stocks the usual essentials — fountain drinks, hot coffee, prepared taquitos, pizza slices, and a walk-in cooler filled with beer, water, and energy drinks. Check cashing and money order services are available at the counter. Visitors grabbing lunch at Bare Back Grill on nearby Grand Avenue can stop here first for sunscreen, ice, or cold drinks to round out a bay-side afternoon. The store accepts SNAP/EBT, checks, credit and debit cards, and NFC mobile pay, with a free parking lot and street parking outside. Motorists who need an oil change or brake check while in the neighborhood can find Midas a short drive away on Garnet Avenue. Wheelchair-accessible entrances, parking, and restrooms are provided. The Mission Bay Drive location holds a 2.8-star Google rating across 50 reviews, reflecting its high-traffic position near one of San Diego's most visited waterfront parks.
