Heard a little more - dont know if true or HA rumor... I guess Benny's son moved to Las Vegas and likes it there - young guy, single, grew up in Kurtistown so maybe it's for him now.
As I heard it yesterday, Benny wanted his son to take over, but like most father and son type businesses, the son has other interests. Cant blame him for wanting to pursue other things at this time in his life.
So probably Benny leased the space to 7-11 as he already has a relationship with them. He gets lease payments without the headache of running a business there.
He's a smart guy no doubt. Bought lots of land way back in the day, and finally getting to reap rewards from his hard work.
