[nihil]

Why does it do that? Just a common question that people have... it's not really that intuitive (their name). No shame.

The word of the day is legs baby, lets go back to my place and spread the word!










uhhh, yes, the orginal meaning was its store hours, 7am to 11pm. I actually have a friend who use to work there when those were its hours.

BTW, the name is 7-Eleven, not 7-11.

At one time, there was a law that set a limit for how long a business could stay open. Of course, that business did not have to be open during all the hours that it could be open, and most were not. However, in 1927 some nice people in Dallas, Texas, created a chain of stores properly named '7-Eleven'. This was because these stores were open for all the hours that they could be open, which was from 7am to 11pm. Today, of course, 7-Elevens all across the United States and Canada open all day, every day - sometimes even on holidays. Their goal is to be fast, friendly and to sell products that are reliable at good prices. In short, they aim to give the people what they want.

The best thing about 7-Eleven is that you can go and get what you need at any time of the day or night, even on Sundays and during the Christmas period. You may get your coffee early in the morning, or late in the evening. Slushies are available to you in the winter as well as in the spring and the service is friendly and fast. So get on out there and take advantage of your local 7-Eleven.

Yeah but it smells and the head honcho hangs out with a couple nuts and an asshole.

Interestingly enough, there are a ton more 7-Eleven stores in Japan than the US.
