Hours of Operation
7-Eleven was the first convenience store to have television advertising. The animated commercial ran in 1949 and had a singing rooster and owl.
Way back in 1927, an employee of the
Southland Ice Company in Dallas, Texas, starting selling such
grocery items as eggs, milk and bread, from the company’s ice
dock. In less time than it takes to say 7-11, the convenience
store was born, and named for the hours it was open: 7a.m. to
11p.m. When its “convenience” was noted, the idea took off and
competitors sprung up by the dozens. But 7-11 forged on,
extending their actual hours to 24 a day, but keeping the
original name.
They were the first outlet of their kind to operate around the clock, sell fresh coffee in disposable cups, provide self-serve soda bars, offer all major brands of soft drinks, and serve extra large drinks. To promote all this, they also became the first convenience store to advertise, producing an ad for television in 1949 that featured an animated rooster and crow, symbolic of when they were open.
Their 5800 stores in the U.S. and Canada, and a total of 25,000 worldwide, make them the largest retail convenience stores in the world.
Out of all American retailers, 7-11 sells more cold beer, cold bottles of water, cold Gatorade, fresh-grilled hotdogs, single servings of chips, Sports Illustrated magazines, USA Today newspapers and…money orders.
The most Slurpees are downed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (a notoriously cold place in winter) and Detroit, Michigan (almost as cold); coffee is chugged down in record gallons in Long Island, N.Y; Big Gulps disappear by the gallon in Las Vegas and Utah; hot dogs are scarfed more in Washington, D.C. than anywhere else, and nachos are the nosh of choice in Colorado.

Intellectual growth commences at birth and cease only at death. Sometimes questions are more important than answers. The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. Yes, we all are on a mission to remind everyone to never lose your sense of curiosity or wonder. Long live learning!

Dear Sirs,
In view of what seems to be happening internationally with banks at the moment, I was wondering if you could advise me correctly…
If one of my cheques is returned marked ‘insufficient funds,’
how do I know whether that refers to me, or to you?
