A new 7-Eleven convenience store with fuel pumps has been built and received its certificate of occupancy at 600 5th Street in Eagle Lake.

A new 7-Eleven convenience store with fuel has gone up at 600 5th Street in Eagle Lake, near Gilbert Street and US 17. County records show permits for the store building, the fuel tanks, the fuel canopy, and a dumpster enclosure, along with road improvements in the right-of-way that included a new left-turn lane.

The main store permit has a certificate of occupancy issued, and a full set of sign permits β€” wall signs on four elevations, canopy signage, and an 8-foot monument sign β€” were completed in early 2026. By those records the store is finished and signed.

A county surety that guaranteed the right-of-way improvements was reviewed for release in September 2026, the final cleanup step on the public-road work tied to the project.

What happens next

The store building has its certificate of occupancy and the signage is installed. The surety covering the road improvements has gone through its clearance review.
