The Rise Of 7-Eleven

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.

The Rise Of 7-Eleven

The best 7-11’s are in the Asia markets, the 7-11 in the states are lacking, they need to catch up to grab the market like they do in Asia.

I’m a supervisor for a 7-Eleven warehouse in California and honestly things have been great. We worked through the entire pandemic. I’m thankful to say the least.

[sourishsaha]

7-eleven in asia is like Bullet train
and in USA it is like bicycle
literally

[MrBryn]

If the Japanese style 7/11 is rolled out world wide, that would be amazing.
They are really on another level over there.

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.

The best versions of 7-Eleven I've seen are in Asia

[FinancialShinanigan]

Everyone needs to experience 7-Eleven in Japan

[kunan]

Tbh, 7-11 in the US is just terrible. I don’t feel any sense of “rise”...

[folie-nt]

I feel like we need a whole video on Japanese 711 and the Japanese bought the control stake of its parent company.

In Philippines, we have locally grown convenience stores who are growing regionally. For instance, in Iligan city somewhere in Mindanao, shoppe24 convenience shop was already existing long before the opening of several 7/11 eleven stores in the city and yet all are still operating. 7 eleven put a healthy competition in the Philippines and still growing..

When I (used to) travel to Asia for work, seeing 7-11's on every corner made me feel a little more at home :)

[LAchicktravels]

7 Elevan's in Japan is AMAZING! Would love to see it happen in the U.S.

[Donkeyearsa]

I can't remember the last time that I bought anything other than gas from any convenience store. There are just so many grocery stores around me with far better prices.

[bonkersvideos]

Im 40 years old. I JUST noticed the “n” in 7-eleven is the only letter that is lower case. Ha!

[acr]

7-11 stores in US look dirty and ugly. I was surprised when I heard that 7-11 was very popular in Japan. Now I know the reason. A Japanese supermarket chain in Japan owns 7-11 and run the stores in their own way, completely different with American stores

[RobertInnis]

The food options at 7-11 in Japan, far outweigh what we have here in the US.

[gian]

When I think of 7-Eleven I think of the Simpson cartoon convienence store for some reason

[pocki]

Probably the best closing Statement in CNBC history!

[IKEMENOsakaman]

I wish American 7-11 has onigiris and other good foods and snacks, just like in Japan.

[mysteriousmarvel]

Its a very interesting business model that i think will remail one of the few stores that can survive while being a 100% brick and mortar company
