7-Eleven

About

Brighton’s 7-Eleven is a local outlet of the global convenience store chain, a quick stop for coffee, snacks, cold drinks and household basics. Like other stores in the chain, it centers on fast, grab-and-go purchases: hot food such as Big Bite hot dogs, fountain drinks in Big Gulp sizes, frozen Slurpee drinks and shelf-stable snacks. It suits shoppers who need something quickly without making a full grocery run.

The chain traces its roots to a Dallas ice company founded in 1927, which began selling milk, eggs and bread from its ice docks and adopted the 7-Eleven name in 1946 to advertise its long hours of 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. The Slurpee arrived in the 1960s and the Big Gulp in 1980, and both remain signature products. Today the company operates tens of thousands of stores worldwide.
