7-Eleven
About
This downtown Boston 7-Eleven is a branch of the international convenience store chain, stocking grab-and-go food, snacks, and hot and cold drinks for people passing through the neighborhood. Typical offerings include coffee, Big Bite hot dogs and sausages, Big Gulp fountain drinks, frozen Slurpee drinks and the chain’s 7-Select private-label chips, along with everyday basics. Stores in the chain are generally open 24 hours a day.
The 7-Eleven name dates to 1946, when the company, founded in Dallas in 1927 as an ice dock that began selling milk, eggs and bread, renamed its stores to reflect then-novel hours of 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Today it is one of the largest convenience retailers in the world. Recent additions include the Big Flavor Bar, a lineup of sauces, shakers and toppings for customizing hot food, plus seasonal drinks such as the Pumpkin Somethin’.
