7-Eleven in Houston?

have you been to asia? theyre everywhere

 

I used to go to the 7-Elevin near my house in the early 90's. That one tuned into a stop n go around 96

 

You're missing out on a lot.

 

7-Eleven was the first convenience store to ban Playboy.

just saying

 

I don't see the big deal about 7-Eleven other than the image of novelty. It's just your average convince store. They are EVERYWHERE in Chicago (I visit there constantly). I noticed nothing different than your average Valero On the Run, or whatever...

 

It's like a Michoacana.

 

Pretty sure they all became diamond shamrock, which most of those became Valeros. 7/11 is alright, but QT is better. I wish Houston had those. They are all over DFW.

 

QT is awesome if, for no other reason, the drink machine with recipes for different Flavors. Awesome.

 

I stick with U Totem.

 

Houston had 7-Eleven's until 1990 when all the Houston stores (and only Houston) were sold to a different company that renamed them Stop-N-Go. Then in the late 90's, they were sold again to Diamond Shamrock which a few years later was acquired by Valero. So some of the Valero's in town used to be 7-Eleven's back in the 80s.

 

7Eleven is probably the best convenient store out there. They changed my life. Met my wife there and everything.

I encourage you to visit one ASAP.

 

7-Eleven has Citibank ATM's so I don't pay a fee because there's a 7-Eleven on every corner

 

actually 7-11 and stopngo did a territorial merger where stopngo got the houston market and 7-11 got other markets in texas.

 

I enjoyed being able to roll in and get a Slurpee (not just Cherry or Coke flavored) with Cesar Cedeno on it.

 

QT's good, but it's no Wawa. And nothing beats a Sheetz. I don't miss alot about the Mid-Atlantic, but I do miss really good convenience stores.

 

I thought they were going to open one over on 249 or something but it kept getting delayed.

 

I was bemoaning the loss of great corner stores the other day to a co-worker. Back in the 1990's, I could spend an entire day there with my buddies with food and entertainment for under $10.

 

Hawaii lives and dies by these stores

 

Awesome call back there! Along with loosing all local 7/11's in the 90's seeing 2 Pesos taken away and leaving the sub-par by comparison Taco Cabana is when things in H-town started to go south.
