7-Eleven, more coming to east Vancouver

A $5 million construction project will add a 7-Eleven convenience store and gas pumps to the corner of Southeast Mill Plain Boulevard and 164th Avenue, one of Vancouver’s busiest intersections.

The project includes a separate building for an urgent care clinic and another national retailer that has not yet been announced, said Mike Jenkins, the project’s Vancouver developer. Jenkins also is planning a makeover of the former Ruby Tuesday restaurant as part of the project, called Commercial Center at 164th.

Jenkins expects a May groundbreaking for the development on the southwest quadrant of the intersection.

High traffic counts were the main attraction for 7-Eleven, which stands a good chance of capturing morning commuters heading south on 164th to state Highway 14 connections to Interstates 5 and 205.
