- baroffoos 7y agoI'm in Adelaide and convenience stores are not super common. There is usually one on each major street but nowhere near as much as the other states. When I was in Sydney it was a massive shock to see 711 everywhere. It was quite often to have 2-3 of them within my field of vision.
- avinium 7y agoThe first time I went to Sydney (late 90s) I remember thinking the same - 7-11's everywhere. There was definitely an explosion of convenience stores across Adelaide - perhaps 2010 until 2015? But they then all shuttered in quick succession.
