7-Eleven, Inc. has leased space for its newest store at 872 Commonwealth Ave., on the Brookline-Boston line.

Adam Conviser of Conviser Property Group represented 7-Eleven. McKinnon said, "7-Eleven chose the location for its strong demographics, visibility, heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic, access to the MBTA Green Line, and proximity to B.U." The chain, founded in 1927, operates 7,200 stories in North America, as operator, franchisor or licensor. Other tenants in the building are East Coast Alpine, Audio Concepts and MMP Printing.
