It is called 7 eleven because the first store was opened on July 11, 1927 and the hours were 7am-11pm..

Why Is It Called 7 Eleven

The first answerer is correct. Actually, when they *first* opened, they were called Speedee Mart. The "7-11" tag was added later, and for a while the two names coexisted ("Speedee Mart 7-11"). I'm not really sure, but I believe the Southland Corporation took it over and introduced the name 7-11.

in the sixties, stores were normally only open 8-6. after that, everything shut down and you were cut off from your wallet for the remainder of the day - hmmm, not a bad idea. 7/11 was the first store that i know of that offered extended hours. you could stop in before work (7) or, even after work (11). it was quite the novelty back then.

Initially, these stores were open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., hours unprecedented in their length, hence the name.

It was based on thier hours. They were either open 7 days a week, 11 hours a day, or from 7:00a.m to 11:00p.m, i can't remeber which.

When they first opened, I think that was when they were open...from 7:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m.
