National Facilities Direct Leads Full Restoration of Downtown Everett 7-Eleven Following Fire Incident

EVERETT, WA – April 14, 2025 — After a fire disrupted operations at a 7-Eleven near the corner of Pacific and Colby in downtown Everett early last week, National Facilities Direct (NFD) has been selected to lead the restoration and reconstruction of the location. The incident, which was swiftly contained by Everett Fire and Snohomish Regional Fire & Rescue, originated in an adjacent storage area and caused only minimal damage. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but store operations were paused as a precaution pending inspection and repair.

“When a client calls, we don’t scramble. We scale. Our model was built for urgency,” said Vince Kiel, Founder and CEO of National Facilities Direct. “We have the people and the infrastructure to mobilize instantly and deliver consistently, whether it’s one location or one thousand. That’s the power of our self-performing engine.”

National Facilities Direct is spearheading a full recovery effort which includes debris removal, smoke and odor remediation, water remediation, interior repair and refinishing, appliance repair, and the full resumption of safe and compliant operations.

“Speed is critical, but integrity is non-negotiable,” Kiel continued. “This community deserves a clean, safe, fully operational 7-Eleven. Our job is to make the location look and operate like it never happened.”
