7-Eleven Will Take Over Convenience Stores on Tollway

 7-Eleven® stores will replace ExxonMobil outlets in the remaining 17 years of the lease agreement for all seven Illinois Tollway Oases, including the Lake Forest Oasis.

The new agreement with 7-Eleven, Inc. of Dallas includes maintenance and operations responsibilities for Mobil fuel stations at the Tollway Oases located throughout Northern Illinoisand will ensure seamless continuation of services for Tollway customers. 7-Eleven will take responsibility for the Oases sites, including 13 Mobil fuel stations, convenience stores and car washes.

By the end of March, the convenience stores will be rebranded as 7-Eleven operations. Fuel stations will retain the Mobil gasoline brand, allowing customers to continue to purchase Mobil-brand fuel and use the ExxonMobil credit card at the gas pumps and inside the stores.

In addition, the convenience stores will offer consumers 7-Eleven's signature products, such as Slurpee® and Big Gulp® beverages, fresh foods, self-serve coffee and a wide variety of cold drinks, along with standard convenience-store items.

On the Tri-State Tollway (Interstate 94/Interstate 294/Interstate-80), there are four oases: Lake Forest, O'Hare, Hinsdale and Chicago Southland Lincoln in South Holland.  There are two oases on the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (Interstate 90) in Belvidere and Des Plaines, and one on the Reagan Memorial Tollway (Interstate 88) in DeKalb.
