7-Eleven

This Jamaica Plain 7-Eleven serves the neighborhood as an around-the-clock convenience store, open 24 hours a day for food, snacks, coffee and hot and cold beverages. It handles the quick errands: a morning coffee, a late-night snack, a cold drink or a household item picked up on the way home. Shelves carry the chain’s familiar lineup, including Big Bite hot dogs, Big Gulp fountain drinks, frozen Slurpee drinks and 7-Select private-label snacks.

The company behind the store started in Dallas in 1927, when an ice dock began selling milk, eggs and bread, and the stores were renamed 7-Eleven in 1946 after their hours of 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. The chain has since grown into one of the largest convenience retailers in the world, with tens of thousands of stores, and the long hours that inspired its name have stretched around the clock at stores like this one.
