The Bhamipuris’ Last Day: Fremont 7-Eleven Closes a 30-Year Chapter

The Bhamipuris' Last Day: Fremont 7-Eleven Closes a 30-Year Chapter

If you’ve ever stopped into the 7-Eleven in Fremont, there’s a good chance Ron Bhamipuri was behind the counter. He bought the franchise in the 90s after emigrating from India and ran it as a family business for three decades. His son Shawn and other family members grew up working there.

Tomorrow is their last day. They hand the keys to a new owner on Tuesday morning.

I run Fremont Neighbor, a small local news site covering the neighborhood, and I interviewed Shawn and Ron today. A full story is coming, but I wanted to give people a heads up in case you want to stop by and say goodbye.
