Marlins Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Seriously. Why is it called 7/11? Was it originally 7 days a week, 11 hours a day? I don't know. Why? 812530[/snapback] You got it! The name 7-Eleven (Originally 7-to-11) was adopted because of their business hours at the time, 7 a.m to 11 p.m, of course they're all open 24/7 now. BTW: 7-Eleven Inc. is the world's largest operator, franchisor and licensor of convenience stores with more than 21,000 units worldwide and is one of the nation's largest independent gasoline retailers. Its corporate name was changed from The Southland Corporation to 7-Eleven Inc., after approval by shareholders on April 28, 1999. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also say that it's because of Remembrance Day(Nov. 11th) where the store is required to be closed for atleast 3 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they don't then they could get in big trouble for it if they get caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant. :banghead 812637[/snapback] That's one of the reasons I guess....they have to have a lock for atleast that day. And the main explanation for it is probably what I said before--to comply with Gov't, Health, Safety, and Fire Regulations. Robberies are part of the Safety part--so that they could lock the robber in the store until the police come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 yea, and why would it be THAT day???? not even a major holiday 812640[/snapback] Because it's a day where all business', open and closed ones, have a day off. So since 7/11 is open 24/7, they just take 3 hours off, instead of the whole day. It's to give honor to all the people who risked their lives at way during that time, and they started this in 1931.
