1963 – Creating a Chain Reaction
With increased ownership of automobiles, the auto industry grew rapidly. As driving became more and more popular, the demand for convenient shopping also grew.
Convenience stores began establishing themselves in new suburbs and areas too small to support a supermarket. 7‑Eleven capitalized on this idea and grew to 1,000 stores by 1963.
In the same year, one 7‑Eleven store in Austin, Texas, located close to the University of Texas, stayed so busy after a football game, it couldn’t close. The store just remained open. That night was so successful the store began staying open 24 hours every weekend. Soon other 7‑Eleven stores followed suit, staying open around the clock.
This is another innovation by 7‑Eleven – we were the first retail store to operate 24 hours a day.
