New dry cleaners, upgraded 7-Eleven and auto repair at corner of Braddock Road and Mount Vernon Avenue
Alexandria’s City Council on Saturday approved requests by Yates Holdings and 7-Eleven that will bring new and upgraded development to the corner of Braddock Road and Mount Vernon Avenue. Yates Holdings will open a dry cleaners and a light auto repair business in the block covering 515 Mount Vernon Ave. and 401 and 405 E.

DVD rental kiosks in violation of existing 7-Eleven special use permits
Wondering where all the Redbox DVD rental machines have gone? Well, the City of Alexandria has recently required the removal of machines stationed outside 7-Eleven convenience stores. These machines are operating in violation of existing special use permits. According to Barbara Ross, Alexandria’s deputy planning director, all operations at 7-Eleven stores must take place inside. By running a cord outside to power a Redbox machine, the permits are violated. “It’s our job to enforce these permits,” Ross said. Ross didn’t know if it was Redbox or 7-Eleven that has since removed the machines. “We hope they can manage to retain the machines and move them inside the store,” Ross said.
