There are many places we can get hold of a tasty snack
but did you know that your local 7-eleven has some of the best-tasting
foods out there they've got it all freshly made pizza
coffee slurpees an impressive hot dog and so
much more here are 10 7-eleven facts that will
tempt you to their stores the simpsons and
7-eleven what happens when one of the world's
largest convenience stores teams up with one of the world's most
popular tv shows you get a pop culture explosion that
sounded like an explosion at the old simpson place
which is exactly what happened when 7-eleven promoted the release of the
simpsons movie in case you didn't know in the simpsons
they have their own version of 7-eleven known as the kwik-e-mart that store is
run by a pooh and his family and has been proudly serving snacks to
the people of springfield since the show began
thank y'all come again when the simpsons movie was released
7-eleven decided to turn some of their stores into real-life kwik-e-marts to
honor the occasion this not only included changing the
exterior of the buildings and the signs to match the springfield store
but it also included selling some of their famous products
crestio cereal radioactive man comics buzz cola and even squishies which is
their version of the slurpee unfortunately as the movie was pg-13
homer's favorite duff beer couldn't be sold
but fans did get a chance to buy duff energy drinks instead
while not all of the 7-eleven locations were transformed into quickie marts
most of them at least sold simpsons-based items
such as a woo-hoo blue vanilla slurpee homer's favorite
wraps and sandwiches at 7-eleven truck stops and corner stores might not be
known for having the best range of snack meals out on the market
which we can understand however there is one location that does
have a great range of snack foods and sandwiches
and that's 7-eleven their sandwiches are handmade and delivered daily to the
stores fresh and 7-eleven offers you a great choice
in varieties and flavors these include traditional
wedge sandwiches subs and burritos i don't much go for
ethnic food now while the ingredients might
differ a little bit depending on your location you can
probably expect the usual cheese romaine lettuce tomatoes and
occasionally some meats that can range from roast beef
ham and even tuna these are generally great for anyone who needs to grab
something quick and simple since they come ready to eat
what more could you want from a snack food what more do you want
it's fresh somewhat healthy and more importantly
it is affordable and it will also fill your belly nicely
or at least long enough to survive until the next meal
7-eleven prides itself on selling great tasting snacks
all of which are designed to make the customer come back for more
and as if that wasn't good enough 7-eleven actually goes one step further
as they try to source as many ingredients from local suppliers as
possible another great reason to start using your
local 7-eleven 7-elevens pizza and chicken i'm having a
relationship with my pizza wings and pizza are both very popular
items the world over however if you want people to come back
then they need to taste great 7-eleven yet again
managed to figure this out and created some great tasting options in this area
while it always seems as if there are a ton of choices when it comes to wings
7-eleven likes to keep it simple and to the point by allowing the customer to
buy one version of chicken this is actually
a good thing since too much choice can be
overwhelming as well as there being more opportunities for the place to get it
wrong as well as that 7-eleven also takes
their chicken sourcing seriously we use mainly bats but the
good quality kind as they only use chicken that is raised with no added
hormones or steroids which is something that many
consumers are wary of today pizza is probably one of the most
popular foods out on the market you can find it pretty much everywhere
once again there are tons of versions but you can expect
three from this corner store those are cheese
pepperoni and extreme meat you are going to get it fresh
too as their pizzas come out of the oven in three minutes
no matter what time of day it might be whatever reasons you have for wanting to
indulge in chicken or pizza 7-eleven has you covered the 7-eleven
bakery imagine wanting a freshly baked muffin
or perhaps an apple pie but not wanting to wait in
line for ages well 7-eleven provides yet another
service that can come in handy for anyone that loves baked goods
the store has pretty much everything that someone who is in the mood for a
baked good might want that's pretty fantastic
these include some popular items like cookies croissants
and of course their infamous donuts however they also carry some great
muffins do you know the muffin man in fact one
of them known as morning glory is packed with
coconut carrot apple raisins and walnuts
alongside those benefits 7-eleven is known for having many fresh items on
their menu list in short they make sure to bake every
item fresh no matter the time of day what this
means is that you're highly unlikely to get something that's considered old or
rather unservable due to it sitting on the counter for days at a time
you can easily hit up 7-eleven to satisfy your sweet carb cravings with
fresh offerings day or night they're ever
popular hot dogs made out with a hot dog oh my god that
was one time is there anything more classic and
satisfying than a good hot dog 7-eleven certainly doesn't think so hot
dogs are after all the perfect grab-and-go food
7-eleven takes it up a notch with all the free toppings your heart could
desire this includes the usual suspects like
ketchup mustard relish and onions but also favorites
like cheese sauce chili pico de gallo and
jalapenos with such a wide variety of free
toppings to pile on to their delicious dogs
it's no wonder the hot dog is one of 711's best
sellers they run a yearly promotion where on national hot dog day
7-eleven sells their hot dogs for only one dollar
damn good deal for this promotion they sometimes also release
limited edition hot dogs one of the more memorable limited edition releases was
the reaper dog this bright red hot dog is laced with a
very potent carolina reaper pepper seasoning blend
for those unfamiliar with the carolina reaper the
pepper is said to be the world's hottest chili pepper
7-eleven called this one seriously spicy dog
adding that you may want to pick up some milk to go along with your reaper dog
unfortunately for lovers of all things spicy you can't get your hands on this
one anymore but keep your eyes peeled each
year around national hot dog day who knows what 7-eleven will come up
with next those classic 7-eleven slurpees
slurpees are tasty there is no getting away from that
fact whether you are young or old anyone can
enjoy a slurpee and we do if you'll excuse me i gots to
get my slurping out 7-eleven is known for having some of the
best slurpees out on the market this is not only because they are backed
by a large brand but also due to the quality and
simplicity that goes into producing them most people can make a slurpee but to
make a truly great slurpee there needs to be a perfect
understanding of how to balance ingredients
and flavors 7-eleven knows this better than most and their version contains all
the standard stuff but comes with several different types
of flavors in fact some of them are actually quite
unique a delicious chutney squishy there are over 30
flavors that 7-eleven sells these include crushed orange grape and
even cream soda flavors as well as the more mainstream coca-cola
pepsi mountain dew and dr pepper flavors so
it's clear that you're going to be getting a wide variety of options and
what you can slap in your slurpee there's even the mild possibility of
mixing flavors if that's your kind of thing either way
a 7-eleven slurpee is as good as it gets when it comes to a refreshing
and great tasting drink you can thank football for 7-elevens opening hours
i love footballs it may be hard to imagine now but there was a time
in which 7-eleven kept regular opening hours
as the name implies these hours were from
seven in the morning until 11 at night seven days a week
these hours were extremely convenient for most people
after all customers didn't usually need to buy anything in the small
hours of the morning right that is until the 1960s when everything changed
when a university of texas football game went long
the local 7-eleven decided to stay open a little later
in order to catch the post-game trade this proved to be very lucrative
and inspired for that particular 7-eleven so much so that it would then
regularly stay open later on weekends soon that store started to open more and
more until it became the first store to open
for a full 24 hours other stores followed suit and
by the mid-1970s two-thirds of 7-eleven stores were open
for 24 hours a day my door's always open so to speak
now of course most of them are open 24 hours
but that very first one in texas started it all
and it was all thanks to football it has been reported that a quarter of the u.s
population lives within a mile of a 7-eleven this has proved to be even more
exciting for 7-eleven fans as the u.s government has made it
possible for people to pay their taxes at the convenience store it may be cash
only but it still saves a lot of us so much
trouble 7-eleven truly is the most convenient of
all stores every store is different in the u.s we
see 7-elevens as more of a great place to grab a cup of coffee
or a slurpee while we are out running errands or dealing with daily life
however around the world 7-elevens look very different
depending on the culture or the need from the local population
worldwide 7-elevens serve up a whole host of different niches
in japan many 7-eleven locations are basically treated like grocery stores
it's the largest and most popular convenience store chain there by far
the fresh foods are what really set them apart with items like bento
sets onigiri sandoz and all the instant noodles your heart could desire
heck they recently announced you can even stop in to get
life insurance seriously do you have life insurance
because if you do you could always use a little more japan isn't the only place
that take their 7-eleven seriously though over in taiwan 7-eleven
is also extremely popular even more so than the
likes of starbucks the taiwanese 7-eleven is truly a
convenience store as you can not only buy tasty snacks
but you can also pay bills book vacations
and even buy appliances and electronics how convenient
while our local 7-elevens have so many services
on offer already we can't help but want to visit all the location type 711 has
to offer it's been around for nearly 100 years
7-eleven is one of those concepts that has really stood the test of time
starting as a simple idea back in the 1920s
an employee of the southland ice company in dallas wanted to help people get
their weekly necessities such as milk and bread more easily than
having to travel quite a distance to get to the store
the idea of convenience became a big hit well that's convenient with the
realization that more people across the country would like this new idea for
grocery shopping stores started to open up across texas
and it wasn't long before the concept really took hold of the country
what was founded on a very simple idea to have convenient food sold at low
prices has continued to be 711's motto it's
it's so simple it's brilliant and has helped
shape them into the global phenomenon they have become
one of the largest convenience store chains currently there are nearly
70 000 711 stores in a whopping 17 countries i'm just gonna wait until
they've taken over the world with around 10
000 of those in north america the numbers for 7-eleven stores seem to be
climbing as it is reported that a store is added
to the franchise every three and a half hours being one
of the world's largest convenience stores doesn't just happen by accident
it has to be a hard-fought goal of the company
and that seems to have been the case some of the main principles that 711
seems to have in its approach to world domination
are their customer service and the quality of their items
the other reason for 711's vast network of convenience stores is down to
franchising what this means is that not every store
is controlled by the corporate office each store is licensed using the
7-eleven name and brand but it is run by the individual while
the corporation still does have a say in the overall running of the company
the day-to-day running of each store is left to the person who franchised it
while franchising is not a new or uncommon idea
especially in the fast food world in which most chains are franchised
it has still helped 7-eleven become the global company it is today
and that doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon
