Urban Value Corner Store, with stores in high-growth population markets, opened its first single-family community location in Justin, Texas. 

Located in the community of Wildflower Ranch, at 16380 Goldflame Drive, just outside Fort Worth, Texas, the store is Urban Value’s first full-service location for a large-single family home community, the retailer said. 

“We have been looking forward to opening the Wildflower Ranch store since early last year,” said Steve McKinley, founder and CEO. “Now that the amenity center has been completed, our store will be one of the first amenities that existing and prospective residents will see upon entering this beautiful new community.”

McKinley said the merchandising selection will focus more on what homeowners will need to improve their living experiences, which may be slightly different from the apartment communities the retailer has been serving over the last six years.

Urban Value Corner Store, McKinney, Texas, operates 10 fuelless locations in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas, regions, according to the convenience-store chain’s website.

Technology/Services

Most 7-Eleven rewards members use self-checkout but few use it every time

Faster transactions, shorter lines and ease of use drive interest, age-restricted items and technical issues still pose barriers
