If it's a busy enough intersection that crossing the street is 
difficult, that makes sense.

In Manassas there's a 7-11 next door to a 7-11. (One's a gas 
station/7-11 on the corner of a main thoroughfare and side street; 
the other's a full store on the side street. The gas station is the 
newer of the two, and they were originally going to close the full 
store when it opened, but people who didn't want gas kept going to 
the full store so they kept them both open.)
