A new 7-Eleven with gas and truck fueling is going up on North Highway 98

Where it is. In north Lakeland.

A 4,853-square-foot 7-Eleven with passenger and truck fueling stations is taking shape at 8321 N Highway 98 in North Lakeland.

County records describe a new 7-Eleven at 8321 N Highway 98 in North Lakeland: a 4,853-square-foot convenience store with both passenger-vehicle and truck fueling stations, plus parking, landscaping and stormwater work. The site plan for the project has been completed, and permits for the fuel canopy, a fuel-lane canopy and underground storage tanks have moved into the inspections stage.

A string of sign permits β€” wall signs, a pylon, a monument sign and canopy signage β€” have been filed over the past year, several of which have since expired or been denied. In August 2026 a zoning sign-off tied to a state beer and wine license was closed out, a step that typically comes as a store nears opening.

Together the records point to a 7-Eleven in active construction rather than one already open for business.

What happens next

Remaining fuel-canopy, tank and sign permits need to clear inspections before the store opens. No opening date is in the records.
