(La Porte, IN) - Major change is coming to one of the busiest intersections in La Porte.  A 7-Eleven convenience store will go up at Pine Lake Avenue. and Truesdell Avenue. where Spoor’s Auto Sales used to be for several decades until closing recently.

Bert Cook, Executive Director of the La Porte Economic Advancement Partnership, said 7-Eleven has purchased the land where Spoors Auto Sales operated.  Cook said the 7 Eleven will also feature gasoline pumps.  “I believe they’re full steam ahead at this point and ready to start construction,” he said.

Cook said the 7-Eleven should begin going up this spring or early summer.  The old Spoors Auto Sales building will be torn down along with two houses just east of the site, he said.
