  • 7-Eleven, home of the formerly 64-ounce Double Gulp and the Pina Colada Slurpee, has helped revolutionize the way we shop at convenience stores. In March 2019, the 90-year-old brand launched its first Evolution Store. Featuring fresh food options and specialty alcohol, the new store concept is aimed at a new generation of consumers. And with consumer behavior changing due to Covid-19, the convenience store industry could be on the verge of a profound change.

    I love 7-11. Growing up, I would spend my allowance there. There was one 5 minutes away from my high school. As a young adult, it was the only option for late night food (chicken tenders, pizza, sandwiches, toquitos, etc) When I travel to tourist places like Thailand and South China, I absolutely adore the convenience and price of 7-11. This is honestly the best convenient store in the world and I've been to Japan too! Lawson eat your heart out.

    Fun fact... for most of their history in America, 7-Eleven stores with room for a gas station always had a CITGO station attached. Somehow the friendship between the two companies soured about ten years ago. So the CITGO name was dropped and 7-Eleven started selling gas under their own name in the USA. Hilariously, the old CITGO panels on the 7-Eleven roadside signs (the signs with gas prices on them) were all replaced by "oh thank heaven" signs! And I don't think many people under 60 in this country even know "oh thank heaven" was the 7-Eleven slogan long ago. There was a time in the 60's and 70's when 7-Eleven ran commercials on TV with a song based on this slogan. Interestingly the 7-Eleven stores in Canada never sold CITGO gas, but perhaps CITGO never existed in Canada at all? Lots of Americans old enough to remember when ESSO changed their name to EXXON (almost 50 years ago!) in the USA probably have no idea that the ESSO name is still used in Canada (so that means there are NOT any EXXON stations in Canada) and would be shocked if they went to Canada and saw an Esso station. Also, lots of Americans are probably shocked (I know I sure was) when they go to a 7-Eleven in Canada and find out that MARLBORO cigarettes are NOT sold in Canada at all! Marlboro is the most popular cigarette brand in the world, but is unavailable in Canada because of a legal dispute between Philip Morris and a competing Canadian tobacco company which happened way back in 1955! Most of the other classic American cigarette brands are sold in Canada though... CAMEL is the most popular, which is funny because Marlboro and Camel have a huge rivalry in the USA, but Marlboro has always outsold Camel by a huge number... just like Coke outsells Pepsi.

  • @junesilvermanb2979
    @junesilvermanb2979 Před 3 lety +3

    Convenience stores usually charge significantly higher prices than conventional grocery stores or supermarkets,
    as these stores order smaller quantities of inventory at higher per-unit prices from wholesalers.
    However, convenience stores make up for this loss by having longer open hours,
    serving more locations, and having shorter cashier lines.

    I don't see us returning to in store shopping anytime soon, as this is much more manageable with a large family.
    Places that have curbside or quick scan and go has been great for our needs, even outside the pandemic.
    It also helps manage crazy impulse buys, but we also discover new things so it evens out.

      What's there to be shocked, there's tons of fastfood places in the US for people to dine in. In fact the reason they incorporated dine-in in Southeast Asian 7/11s and similar chains is because their sales were too low and people weren't spending enough like they do in US/Japan where people just buy snacks/drinks and leave. I have a feeling the dine-in option isn't going to work in most US 7/11s because it's redundant and kills the whole vibe of convenience and corner stores. There's already diners and fastfood for people to dine in.
