7-Eleven
A few days ago, a 7-ELEVEn store was opened in the campus of my university.
I think that my life will be comfortable.
7-Eleven was derived from an ice house storefront in Dallas, Texas in 1927.
At that time, since refrigerators were not standard, ice was used to preserve food.
One day, an employee named "Jefferson Green," who worked at the ice store, started selling milk, bread, and eggs in addition to ice (the stores were named "Tote'm Stores").
This strategy was successful, and they became "convenience stores" literally.
In 1946, the name of "Tote'm Stores" changed to "7-Eleven" to indicate that the store open from 7 am to 11 pm every day, then 7-Eleven has spread rapidly all over the world.

先日、私の大学構内でセブンイレブンが開店しました。
とても便利になりそうです。
セブンイレブンは1927年、テキサス州ダラスの氷屋から始まりました。
かつては冷蔵庫が一般的ではなく、食料品の保存には氷が使われていました。
そして氷屋で働いてた「ジェファーソン・グリーン」は、氷の他に、ミルクやパン、卵などを売り始めたそうです（「トーテム・ストア」）。
このアイデアがヒットし、文字どおり「コンビニエンスストア（便利な店）」となったというわけです。
1946年には、朝7時から夜11時まで毎日営業するお店として、「7-Eleven」という名前になり、世界中に急速に広まりました。

Ironically, 7-Eleven is not very common in my state, lol.

Thank you so much always for correcting my post!
Interestingly, also in Japan, major convenience stores vary from the region (there are few 7-Eleven in some prefectures).

We don’t have a major chain like 7-Eleven most places. Most of the stores are privately owned and operated. So, they all have different names.

Thank you, I understand. Sounds nice, I like such stores under individual management. There are too many chain stores in Japan.
