New Maryborough development, set to include 7-Eleven, gets underway

Construction has begun on a new development, set to include the Fraser Coast’s first 7-Eleven

A new development which will see the Fraser Coast’s first 7-Eleven open its doors is now underway.

The store will be built next to the McDonalds on Alice Street in Maryborough and Station Square Shopping Centre.

Just weeks after the centre closed the Ferry St entrance as construction work got underway, a concrete structure has been erected on the previously vacant block.

The store is expected to open mid to late 2022, and will provide about 10 ongoing jobs and additional roles during the construction phase.

7-Eleven Retail Area Lead North, Alan Plews, said the investment in new stores in the state in the past 18 months reflected the company’s commitment to Queensland.

“We’ve opened 14 stores in Queensland in the past 18 months, creating about 140 jobs and will continue to invest in our network over the next 12 months and beyond, including our first stores in Maryborough and Gympie,” he said.

Also being built on the block is a new Forty Winks outlet, another welcome addition for Maryborough shoppers, while the city’s Red Rooster restaurant will move from Ferry St to the new block of shops on Alice Street.
