Founded in 1927 in Dallas, Texas, 7-Eleven pioneered the convenience store concept during its first years of operation as an ice company when its retail outlets began selling milk, bread and eggs as a convenience to guests. The name 7-Eleven originated in 1946 when the stores were open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Today, offering busy shoppers 24-hour convenience, seven days a week is the cornerstone of 7-Eleven’s business.

7-Eleven focuses on meeting the needs of convenience-oriented guests by providing a broad selection of fresh, high quality products and services at everyday fair prices, speedy transactions and a clean, friendly shopping environment. Each store’s selection of about 2,500 different products and services is tailored to meet the needs and preferences of local guests. Stores typically vary in size from 2,400 to 3,000 square feet and are most often located on corners for great visibility and easy access.
