The retail giant 7-Eleven has taken aim at the Town of Huntington, arguing in a lawsuit that an ordinance placing restrictions on some convenience stores goes too far.
The suit, filed Oct. 7 in Suffolk County Supreme Court, challenges a law the town board passed in June that placed additional restrictions on new applications for stand-alone convenience stores.
The retailer claims the town didn’t have the authority to impose the restrictions, which include minimum lot sizes, a buffer between the store site and residential areas, and an off-street loading space for trucks. The requirements do not apply to convenience stores in strip malls
