Summary
Mathis is breaking ground Nov. 5 on a $6 million 7-Eleven/Stripes at IH-37 and SH-359, and the public is invited to the 10 a.m. ceremony. It’s a small but visible sign the city is growing, bringing a new travel-stop option right off the highway. Why care? It could mean new sales tax revenue and more convenience for locals and passersby.

Impact analysis
The $6 million private investment could add sales tax revenue and boost nearby commercial activity, though the city may also face routine infrastructure or service costs.
Local shoppers, highway travelers, the developer, and the city’s tax base all stand to gain from the new store and added traffic.
Existing nearby convenience stores and gas stations could lose some business to the new 7-Eleven/Stripes.
