How do you GULP?

Seriously....seriously? LOL

BIG GULP man!

Yess. Quicktrip is fucking great. Always excellent and fast service at the register too.

Hell yeah. If a string of people walk up with their cards out and say "credit, no receipt", the line practically moves at a jog. The clerks literally just eyeball whatever you're holding and already have it totaled by the time you hand them your card. And there's always like two or three clerks so when some guy fucks it up wanting to redeem a scratcher and write a check or whatever, one of them breaks off and takes care of him while the others keep the registers humming for everyone else.

 

[captmcblack]

I will always love 7-11...so if it's improving, I'm all about it.

It would be nice if they could improve their food along with the physical brick and mortar improvements though. Granted, you know what time it is if you're legitimately eating 7-11, but still...it'd be nice.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Oh, so they're finally catching up to Sheetz?

 

[andycapps]

Reminds me of Sheetz.

Same. Sheetz is pretty good, for a convenience store. I don't think we have any 7-11's here. Or Sheetz.

 

[Van Owen]

Looking next-gen as fuck.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

This is the exact opposite of what I want from 7-11. I want it to be shitty and somewhat seedy. I want it to feel like it's 20 years behind the times. I want the food to be pre-made and of questionable quality. Ever since they took arcade machines out of most locations around here, it's been this steady decline away from what makes 7-11 great.

Guess it's Circle K time.

Sounds like something Jeff Gerstmann would say.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Wawa still rules.

 

[knicks]

I mean it is about fucking time to be honest. WaWa is years ahead of them on this...

 

[Valhelm]

This makes sense in urban environments.

 

[bigkrev]

Looks like a Wawa, but with crappier food

Love this so much. There's a QT down the street from my apartment. The gas is cheaper than at 7-Eleven, too.

 

[Jarate]

seriosuly, how can you not have a touchscreen available for this kind of food

Sheetz and Wawa paved an incredible road, all you had to do was follow it so I could occasionally order a Taco and Cheese taquito without announcing my horrid life decisions to other customers.

YOU DUN GOOFED SEV

 

[Max]

Looks like Famima, which I just learned is starting to appear in the USA?

what the hell the Family Mart's i've seen in Japan look nothing like this...

and katakana in the US that is so cool

edit: oh this is in tokyo lol.

 

[mooooose]

This would be a stupid decision.

 

[mollipen]

It's just a nicer looking Family Mart. Never seen one in the US, or in Japan?[

I've been to two here in LA: one downtown, and one in a mall somewhere (been to a lot of malls here, can't always remember which was which).

I was also very surprised to see one in Tokyo recently, as I had been under the assumption that Famima was the Western version of Family Mart.

And 7-11 seriously needs to step up the game on their US stores if they want them to be anywhere near as worthwhile as their Japanese ones.

 

[Jay Fray]

How do you GULP?

Seriously....seriously? LOL

If YouTube comments are to be believed, you already know the answer to this.

 

[Wazzy]

Slurp. Slurp. Gulp.

I'm liking this next generation already.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Sounds like something Jeff Gerstmann would say.

Bjork's right though, I do really really miss playing Double Dragon every time my mom had to pick up some milk.

 

[ronito]

*inhales*

Ahhhhhhhhhh hahahahhahahaahahahahhahahaha!!!

*gasps sharply*

hahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahahaha!

 

[Nevasleep]

From the MRKT to you! ummm

 

[FO-totality]

make it so

 

[Just_myles]

Yup, dat first post nails it. Japanese 7-11s and Family Mart's are pretty much like this. Glad we are at least attempting to catch up.

/thread.

 

[ThreePiMatt]

Stuff like this isn't too surprising. Walgreens has done similar things with some recent flagship stores; adding cafes, nail salons, and goofy shit like that.

[The Abominable Snowman]

I don't know why 7-11 is trying to include Cafe's to sell the overpriced shitty selection of food they currently offer. They could just, you know, improve what they have now instead. Or keep it shitty and drop price.

 

[Dark Octave]

I hope 7-11 employees get raises to go along with these changes becasue that's a lot more BS they'll have to deal with. Looks like they may even have to smile every once in a while as well.

 

[StopMakingSense]

edit: oh this is in tokyo lol.

There's a couple of regular Family Marts in the Little Tokyo in LA, and yeah, they are nothing like the Famima's in LA.

Also, do the regular Family Marts in Japan also have a porn section??? Such weird stores.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Oh wow, I went to that one in New York (I recognize the handwritten sign) two weeks ago while visiting. The layout definitely felt like I was walking more into a family market versus a 7-11.

I still like the 7-11s in Japan the best though.

 

[bbdude]

WaWa is Quickchek, and now 7-11 is WaWa is Quickchek... the generic self-serve to-go trifecta

I love each one and would visit each one daily if they were closer to my home

 

[XiaNaphryz]

But did you slurp, slurp, gulp for Picard?

 

[T.M. MacReady]

I am probably misunderstanding things, but why is beer 13 bucks?

NYC beer prices. 6 Packs are usually 10.99, seasonal or special stuff is more.

Bodegas are obviously cheaper sometimes.

 

[Coconut]

Slurp Slurp Gulp. I'm pretty sure that's something I heard them say in a Yin Yang twins song.

 

[Blackace]

Yeah it is literally its own separate company too. Could happen.

actually it isn't..

Seven & Holdings owns 7-11s worldwide... been that way since 91.

 

[many places]

They need to put a couple of Xbox One & PS4 demo units in there.

Cheap chicken wings, slurpies, and vidya. Hnnnnngggg.

 

[toohectic]

What's their policy on wheezing the juice?

 

[PBalfredo]

Looks like not only a reaction to Wawa in the NE, but Quicktrip as well, who has been kicking their ass for a while here in the midwest. In fact, the new 7-11 facade pictured here looks a lot like how QT has been fixing everything up the last couple of years:

They're all clean and cool looking with automated cappuccino desks like that 7-11 picture.

I moved from Texas to Colorado a few months ago and if there's one thing I do miss, it's QuickTrips.

Jalapeno cheese hot dogs and Rooster Booster all day, everyday.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Yup. The actual meme (doge) manages to be even more irritating thanks to the wonders of Comic Sans MS.

I don't understand the crazy kids nowadays. I'm off to shake my fist.

wow

grrr​

cynic​

bad smokee​

so old​

outrage​

 

[Persona7]

Now I want a coke slurpee.

Great.

 

[foxtrot3d]

Looks like fucking Whole Foods.

When I was a kid, the nearest store at the time was over three times its present size, and was a full-on market. The comic book section was twice the size of the entire periodicals section today.
All of the people on oldschool, sit-on-your-ass-for-decades welfare did their grocery shopping there. And yes, arcade games.
The cashiers were scary white trash tweakers. Now they're friendly Asians.
One of my friend's moms worked there briefly. She was almost a decade younger than my mom but looked older than my grandma.

I still don't get it :|

 

[Branduil]

Established in 1927, 7-Eleven is the largest convenience store chain in the world with more than 50,900 stores in sixteen countries — amazingly, only 10,200 are in North America.

I knew before even looking it up that Japan would have the most.

 

[Effnine]

 

[TAJ]

Would you like cream with that?

Psh, the Kwik Trips here in WI and MN are kickass.

By far the best convenience stores I have been to.

 

[J_Lee]

Boldly going where no 7-11 has gone before.

 

[painey]

I love Kwik Trip, but their slushee selection is piss poor Whenever I see a 7-11 I buy a Slurpee. I love em!

 

[Anonumos]

perfect

 

[daycru]

I would move in if my city got one.

 

[Regiruler]

I like this direction: much cleaner looking.
