Name origin

Southern Continental Ice Company not only sells ice cubes, but also sells milk and eggs, creating new business areas and profit growth points, and is known as the bud of American convenience stores.

At first, the store was called "totem store", and the totem pole placed next to the store became the symbol of convenience store. Since the business hours of the store are from 7: a.m. to 11: p.m., in 1946, Southern Continental Company officially renamed the Totem Store as 7-Eleven, which really opened the prelude to the convenience store era. 7-Eleven stores are located in 18 countries and regions around the world.
