Dining out just got a little more convenient with the opening of the first-ever sit-down 7-Eleven in Dallas, Texas. Though the idea of dining at a convenience store may sound unusual, it sounds a lot more appealing when you consider all the delicious options that the chain has to offer.
The first sit-down 7-Eleven opened in Dallas earlier this year as a testing location for innovative 7-Eleven offerings. The dine-in shop serves up made-to-order coffee drinks, cold-pressed juices, craft beers, and trendy tacos. There's even a spot for guests to taste test different Slurpee flavors, including organic and customizable versions.
With consumer preferences and lifestyles constantly shifting, the new 7-Eleven store aims to bring convenience retaining into the 21st century.
