==Capitalization== == New article ==
So, capitalization counts in the second word in a Proper name, but not in the f/First. Brilliant. When are you going to wake up and change the software and convention? It's inevitable. Give up please. You're wasting our time.

Give me the user interface source, and database source, and I'll fix this myself.

:Enjoy!

Err, thanks. Damn I hate that. ;-p Now, do I have to deal with LDC's claim that "this has been settled, shut up and love it", or can I really just do this?

----
:Well, what exactly do you want? For page titles to be completely case-sensitive and case-preserving (ie, you could have separate Foo, foo, FOO, fOO articles)? The annoying thing about that is that you'll break a zillion links -- non-proper nouns are usually linked to in lowercase... except at the beginning of a sentence, of course. And who wants to write something like <nowiki>"] are known in this area."</nowiki>?

:Or, you might want page titles to be case-insensitive, but case-preserving. ie, the actual article might be "foo" or "asteroids", but a link <nowiki>]</nowiki> or <nowiki>]</nowiki> will also match the lowercase title. Doable, but again problematic; if the page is first created from an uppercase link, you're stuck with the uppercase title (time to make more redirects!). And if you want to have distinct Foo vs foo pages, how do you distinguish them in links without making the more frequent case of non-proper noun at the beginning of a sentence problematic?

:I'm not aware of any prior discussion of this subject on wikipedia (though it probably exists somewhere), but if someone else does I'd be curious to see just how it was settled previously... Personally, I like the status quo just fine with first-letter capitalization, but if something else can be made to work cleanly and keep everyone happy, I'm open to suggestions. --]

-----
The discussion took place under "]", or something like that. and what we actually agreed to do is to be even less case-senstive than we are now, by uppercasing the first letter of ''every'' word in titles, and matching them with links in either case. That's actually the way I'd like to see it, but before that software change came into effect we switched to the new software.

Please realize that the single most important thing that makes Wikis work is ''easy linking''; that is, one can merrily type along and suddenly decide to put brackets around ] because you think it would be nice to link, and behold, it magically links to an article about chess. Now, since the English language requires using the same word with different capitalization in different contexts (like the beginning of a sentence, inside a title, etc.), the sanity of the system demands some basic case-insentive matching. That also makes searching reasonable. That makes it a little trickier to distinguish between one-word generic terms and proper nouns, but that's a minority case and has reasonable workarounds, and anyway that's already the way real encyclopedia's work (Britannica, for instance, has titles in ALL CAPS). Now it could still be case-preserving, but then titles would look really ugly. Better to have titles be in standard English case, so that they are what educated people expect--or at least people who have read our naming conventions.

Being totally case-sensitive is simply not an option. It would make 90% of the pages redirects, make links point to the wrong place, make searches a major pain in the ass, and many other things. Being totally case-insensitive actually ''is'' a good option, and I'd be all for it, and put all the titles in ALL CAPS; that would work well, but it would be ugly. Of course we could also have total separation of page title and link address, but that defeats the whole purpose of a Wiki. So we compromised on the system as it is--it's not as easy to use as all caps, it's not as pretty or as flexible as total sensitivity. But it's a good compromise, and you're the only one whining about it. -- ]

:Thanks for the link, Lee. For what it's worth, Capitaliztion Of The First Letter Of Every Word In The Title is what the old software that's still running on most of the ] does. It's hideously ugly; I much prefer the first-letter capitalization we have here, and would generally prefer to keep it that way and convert the others to the first-letter scheme. However I see no pressing need for lowercase first letters in titles, which is also ugly. ]


::Except, of course, for articles like ] -- but things like that are a rare exceptions to the general rule. Perhaps we should have initial uppercasing as the default when creating article, but allow articles to be moved to lowercase-initial titles, by simply not forcing the issue in the move code.

== Language ==
"7-Eleven is the world's largest chain of small convenience stores". Now isn't that a nice statement. WHAT IS "SMALL"? 10 square inch? 10 acres? - ] 03:07, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

:Fixt. ] 03:44, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Which states have gasoline-selling 7-11s? Which do not?

Melbourne has numerous 7-11 service stations.

== "Trivia" ==
I removed this from the trivia section:

:''That is an urban legend about it, it says the logo is designed considering the numerology or Feng Shui. Most 7-Eleven stores locate at the corner of the street (author: which is ideal for business according to Feng Shui). The small n acts as the magnet (shape) to draw in luck or money. Moreover, small "n" looks smoother and more comfortable than the big "N".''

I found this rather confusing and it's probably not verifiable, considering it is an "urban myth". And that last part is purely opinion. Thought I would show some courtesy with a note here. If there are any problems, ] 04:19, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

==Pennsylvania==
Why does this article labour over PA so much? Are there really more stores there; is it actually notable? It mentions a town of 60,000 with four, but that doesn't strike me as particularly extreme. Salt Lake County, UT with about 900,000 residents has 70, which is a better ratio. What source says the store is particularly prolific in Pennsylvania? ] 12:34, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
:Anyone? Anyone? Should be removed if not cited. ] 19:34, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

==Gulps==
Does 711 even sell the bigger gulps anymore? I think the largest they offer is 44. Check the product page .
] 20:25, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

7-Eleven has these sizes of Gulps. I know this because I go there a lot:

* Gulp (20 ])
* Big Gulp (32 ])
* Super Big Gulp (44 ])
* Double Gulp (64 ]) ] 16:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Super Big Gulp is the size favored by a taxicab dispatcher who worked for an Arlington, Virginia company called Transportation General in the 1970s and 1980s, resigning in 1988. Then he switched companies to Blue Top (also headquartered in Arlington). His name was Richard Lukshaw. Should we add him to the article? Here is a URL for his existence.


Despite the fact that Mr. Lukshaw attended ] and his brother (omitted from the obituary) became a dentist, Mr. Lukshaw learned to become content as a low achiever who regularly patronized 7-11 late at night. By the 1980s he was morbidly obese. As the obituary says, he died at age 63 of complications from more than one stroke.

== Hawaii ==
It may be worth noting that Hawaii's 7-Elevens are treated as part of the Japanese operation and, like those in Japan the article describes, carry personal hygeine products, condoms, etc. (And alongside the hot dogs, they have Musubi and such.) This shouldn't really be a surprise given the ethnic diversity of Hawaii.

Oh, and here in Hilo (pop. around 50,000) there are 4 7-Eleven stores within an area of 3x2 miles, or 6 square miles. :) Take that, Pennsylvania.

] 12:57, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
:*Heh, I hadn't been to Japan in a couple of years, went to Hawaii on a military training assignment and walked into a 7-11. I was honestly surprised to find my beloved onigiri in America.

::Yes, you must have been mad :-), as there aren't that many ''good'' flavors. --] (]) 00:08, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

== Maryland ==
I work at 7-Eleven in Maryland, (Southern Maryland might I add) and I have never once heard it called "S'leven."
And I happen to have anouther 7-Eleven practically across the street from my store.

==Critical mass==
The "United States" section currently includes this statement: "7-Eleven attempts to have critical mass in the regions in which they are located." I'm deleting it because it's meaningless. (How would you even define what "critical mass" means for a chain of convenience stores?) ] 18:36, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

== Trivia pruning ==

In response to the cleanup request, I'm removing all items that note nothing more interesting than that 7-Eleven was referred to or portrayed in some movie or some song. The chain is an institution; it isn't noteworthy that it comes up pop culture contexts. I'm leaving items that are ''quirky'', though, such as the one about 7 to the 11th power in Futurama.

I'm also removing the item about one of their promotions and its movie tie-in. They have promotions all the time. There's nothing remarkable about this one. And Jay Leno often jokes about their new promotions? So what? Jay Leno jokes about anything topical.

Finally, I'm integrating the tiny orphan Trivia section near the top into the United States section.

Under the Canada section, it states that there are "several locations in Toronto, Ontario". Is there any particular reason why these locations are deemed more important than locations in other Canadian cities or does this simply reflect their centre of the universe mentality?

== Hyphen? ==
Well, I noticed something today. Throughout the entire article, ] are used in '''7-Eleven'''. Shouldn't an ] be used, since it's a closed range (because the stores were originally opened from 7:00 AM – 11:00 PM)?

"In the summer of ], a Las Vegas 7-Eleven became the first store in the Southland Corp.'s chain to stay open around the clock, according to Karla Leavelle of the Dallas-based company's Capitol Division."

7-Eleven purchased a chain of stores in 1964 called "Speedee-Mart", which initiated the company's entry into ].

Supermarket chain ], which operates 7-Eleven stores in Japan, purchased the majority interest of ] in ]. In ], The Southland Corporation changed its name to 7-Eleven, Inc.

In the wake of 7-Eleven's bankruptcy in the late ], many stores were sold off, as well as many of the assets previously mentioned; Reddy Ice was reluctantly spun off (and now operates as an independent company) despite ice manufacture being Southland's original business; Citgo was sold in two phases; the Movie Quik service disappeared from stores. Chief Auto Parts stores were eventually sold to ]. Even Southland's headquarters complex, CityPlace, would not be fully developed as originally planned due to the company's financial condition. A twin second tower would have stood directly across ] from the original (and surviving) office tower, connected far above ground (and the freeway) with an enclosed pedestrian walkway. The land for the failed second tower (which would have been dubbed 'CityPlace West') is now occupied by a golf driving range, which will depart in 2007 for a mixed-use project for the growing Uptown area.

Ito-Yokado, 7-Eleven's then-largest franchisee, would be the saving grace of the company; this would prove to aid Southland in its exit from ]. As a result, Ito-Yokado would own a controlling stake of the firm.

In November 2005, ] completed the purchase of 7-Eleven, Inc., turning the publicly-traded American conglomerate into a publicly-traded Japanese conglomerate. Seven-Eleven Japan is itself a subsidiary of Seven & I Holdings, which also owns the Japanese ] chain of restaurants and Ito-Yokado.

In May 2007, the company moved to a new headquarters (dubbed 'One Arts Plaza') in the ] of ], ]. Since ], the headquarters had been at ] in the ] area just north of the city core, near ]. A new 7-Eleven location opened, also in May 2007, on the first floor of One Arts Plaza; this opening marks the first placement of a 7-Eleven location in downtown Dallas.<ref>, ''Dallas Morning News'', May 18, 2007.</ref>

--] (]) 04:19, 15 March 2009 (UTC)== Not the biggest? ==

The article claims that 7-Eleven is the biggest chain store in the world, without giving a specific number of stores (somewhat suspect). Later in the body of the article, it refers to 28,000 stores.

McDonalds claims 31,000 stores , so this would suggest that the claim that 7-Eleven is the biggest is false (or obsolete).

== Oak Cliff v. Dallas, TX ==

:Yes and no. That would be like saying that ] is in ] but ''not'' ]. The fact is that the theater is in Hollywood which is in the city of Los Angeles. So 7-Eleven was founded in Oak Cliff, which is in Dallas. Large cities typically will have areas that are typically referred to by a separate name as they have their own cultural identities. I don't know about Oak Cliff, but something similar like that appears to be going on. If further clarification is needed, I would put "Oak Cliff, Dallas, Texas". --] (]) 00:05, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and there is a statement about the store being 100% franchised "in six years". That should say ''when''. Six years from me reading it or six years from 2007 when they started selling company-owned stores to franchisees?

The "parodies" section might need to be split, or just renamed. While 7<sup>11</sup> is definitely a parody, the Ramones song quoted is not. ] (]) 23:57, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

== Shikoku ==

"Despite having the most number of 7-Eleven stores in the world, not all 47 prefectures of Japan have a 7-Eleven presence; the island of Shikoku for example has no 7-Eleven stores at all, instead its competitors Lawson, FamilyMart and independent competitors fill the gap."
This is now incorrect. There are dozens of 7-Elevens on Shikoku as of 2013. I don't know the correct way to edit this information, so please feel free to correct this for me.

== Number of Outlets vs. Number of Employees ==


] (]) 14:41, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
I find it strange that the introduction specifies the number of outlets worldwide (50,000 as of now), where as the statistics bar specifies the number of employees in North America only (45,000 as of now). At a glace, it's an obvious contradiction (less than one person per store!), until noting that part about only the NA employees. Can someone get the worldwide employees? ] (]) 15:14, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

== Headquarters ==


{{Edit semi-protected|7-Eleven|answered=yes}}
The infobox says Dallas, Texas, US but the lead says "7-Eleven Japan runs all 7-Eleven franchises worldwide and is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan". If 7-11 Japan owns and runs all franchises worldwide, doesn't that make Tokyo, Japan the headquarters over 7-11 America's Dallas, Texas?] (]) 04:08, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

==Fast food chain?==
Is 7-Eleven even considered a fast food chain? Based on article and the sources it provides, it's a convenience store chain and gas station at best. ] keeps adding adding Category:Fast food chains to the article without providing any reliable source as well as lacking any article support and third party source exemplifying that 7-Eleven is a fast food chain. ] (]) 03:41, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
:And also on that line, the opening paragraph states that 7-11 is the largest chain of "conveniece stores" and then procedes to state that McDonal's was the previous largest. While indeed, MIcky's might well have been the largest chain of fast food restaurants, or largest of something, it is not a chain of convenience stores. This should be re-worded in some way, but since I am not sure what the actual comparison here is meant to be, I'll leave it for someone else. ] (]) 12:11, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

I read in the main article that OKC stores are independently owned and thus carry a differing variety of products from the main company. The "Icy Drink" I can verify at my local stores(Norman, OK) however unlike the article states, they do in fact now sell Hot Dogs, Tornadoes, and Nachos. 7-11 stores in OKC metro all use Coremark as it's vendor to receive stock and as such carry the same brand Nachos/Hot Dogs/Tornadoes as Circle K stores(I worked in a Circle K for 2 years). I don't know how recent this addition is to carrying these items in 7-11 now.

As for the Pop Culture there is a band called Mindless Self Indulgence that has a song called "Seven-Eleven" that I'm pretty sure is directly referencing 7-11 stores based upon the lyrics. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/Frankenstein_Girls_Will_Seem_Strangely_Sexy

Ridiculously wrong information for Macau

With only 25.9 square meters (279 sq ft), Macau has 45 stores, making it the single market with the highest density of 7-Eleven stores, containing one store per 0.65 square meters (7.0 sq ft).

Uhm… does that strike anyone as just a wee bit off? —Moxfyre (ǝɹʎℲxoɯ | contrib) 05:47, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Everything is obviously off by a factor of 1 million. The land area of Macau is about 26 square kilometers; there is one 7-11 store per square kilometer.
