7-ELEVEN stores were born from the simple concept of giving people "what they want, when and where they want it." This idea gave rise to the entire convenience store industry. While this formula still works today, customers' needs are changing at an accelerating pace. We are meeting this challenge with an infrastructure of daily distribution of fresh foods, pasties and time-sensitive products, and an information system that greatly improves ordering and merchandising decisions.
