7-Eleven and Children's Health teamed up to open a pop-up store at Children's Medical Center Dallas that helps healthcare workers access to essential items. At the pop-up store, healthcare workers and patient families will be able to purchase a variety of grocery and personal care products, including toilet paper, laundry detergent, phone chargers and fresh salads, heat-and-eat entrees and take-and-heat items like pizza and wings.
The first-of-its-kind hospital pop-up store from 7-Eleven helps to offer more comfort and convenience to people in proximity to the facility. To support in-store safety, the store allows hospital staff to use their employee badges to pay for merchandise. The pop-up will also soon be supporting 7-Eleven's contactless Mobile Checkout feature via the 7-Eleven app, alongside traditional credit and debit checkout options.
