QUOTES 7/11 is scattered all around Singapore, and we often forget to show our appreciation for it. Having a snack past midnight is so convenient when you are around 7/11. Em** *** Posting on a personal blog January 18, 2016
Whenever Singapore’s weather is getting on my nerves, i’ll just pop by any stores and just grab a slurpee to cool down. I love mixing the 2 flavors available, they taste great together. Siuy** *** Posting on a personal blog September 24, 2012
7-Eleven is now the store of choice, not just for last minute needs but for a wide ranging lifestyle needs such as exclusive snacks, meals on-the-go, CashCard top-ups and bill payment services. Aud*** ** Posting on a personal blog May 19, 2012

7-11 is located conveniently at many locations in Singapore and because it is 24 hours, it just adds points to the store itself. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, where all supermarkets closed, there is a 7-11 there to your rescue. Ang** *** Posting on a personal blog November 21, 2013
What i really liked about 7-11 is also the services they offer! Top-up service for ez-link cards are available at all 7-11 stores if you do not live near a MRT station and need to top up your card. The service provided by the 7-11 staffs are really good too! It’s always smiles whenever i step into the store. One more plus point is that it is 24 hours, unlike your usual mama shops. oh*** Posting on a personal blog May 19, 2012
I have to say #7elevenRTE meals saved my life especially when your workplace is at a deserted place where a decent meal is a distance away. Now I wish these are selling in the vending machine in the pantry #7elevensg #ReadyToEat #convenientfood #nasilemak wvivienn***** Posting on Instagram May 3, 2017

“Give the customers what they want, when and where they want it.” Joe C. Thompson Jr. 7‑Eleven Founder

BRAND STORY The first 7-Eleven store opened in Singapore in 1983. Under the simple cause of providing convenience to people around. 7-Eleven has continued to seek out innovative new products and services to provide for their ever-changing customer taste and preference. 7-Eleven is opening more stores to bring convenience closer to its customers.

BRAND STORY When a gallon of milk cost 56 cents and ice was sold in blocks rather than bags for ice boxes back in 1927, an enterprising Southland Ice Company employee, “Uncle Johnny” Jefferson Green, began offering milk, bread and eggs from the ice house. He quickly saw a need to carry these items for customers who were out of these everyday staples. He sold a lot of these items on Sundays and evenings when grocery stores were closed. Realizing the possibilities of Uncle Johnny’s idea to provide customers what they wanted and when they needed it, Joe C. Thompson, Jr., one of the founders and later president and chairman of The Southland Corporation, began selling the product line at other ice-dock locations. At the time, the company had eight ice plants and 21 retail ice docks. Thus convenience retailing was born. More and more customers caught on to this new idea, and the company increased to 60 Southland-owned retail ice docks within a decade.
30
The first 7-Eleven store was opened in 1983 with a franchise license under the Jardine Matheson Group. The license was then acquired by Cold Storage Singapore, a subsidiary of the Dairy Farm Group, in 1989. The Convenient store trend in Singapore was first started by 7-Eleven. The number of 7-Eleven stores in Singapore started to increase since then. Now, 7-Eleven Singapore has 422 stores around the island. Making it hard to miss the orange, green and red colours. Since 1983 till now, 7-Eleven has become a familiar brand to all Singaporeans.

OUR MISSION
Close and Convenient At 7‑Eleven, our purpose and mission is to make life a little easier for our guests by being where they need us, whenever they need us. From sales associates to franchisees and managers, from fresh-sandwich makers to doughnut bakers, from daily-delivery drivers to department heads – all of us associated with 7‑Eleven are here to ensure that we meet our store guests’ needs with fast, convenient and friendly service and the products they want while on the go.
33
OUR VISION
Best Retailer of Convenience
7-Eleven chief executive officer David Goh 34
Being the best at what we do means each 7‑Eleven employee has a chance to brighten someone’s day and make life a little easier, whether it is service with a smile in the store or ensuring we have the freshest food available, day in and day out. That means listening to our customers and changing to meet their changing needs. The products they wanted when we started were pretty simple – milk, eggs and bread. Those items are still available, but they also might include a fresh salad for lunch, chicken wings for a tailgate party, an imported bottle of wine, prepaid iTunes card or a Slurpee® drink in a cool, collectible cup. Whatever the need, we want to be the friendly, convenient, one-stop shop of choice.

BRAND TO PEOPLE
Ericia Tan, 25 Teacher
So I like the movie cars. When we were young, my sisters and I would go to the 7-Eleven nearest to our house to buy packet stickers. So it became a very exciting experience to go to 7- Eleven to buy Stickers. Cause you wont know what you would get inside.
36
Christopher Wee, 27 Sales Executive
After school my friends and I would play basketball together. After the game we would head to the nearest 7-Eleven to buy big gulp (mix all the different flavours together), Slurpee or just a cold drink to quench our thirst after the game. After that we would just hang out with each other untill it is time to head home.

MILLENNIALS
44
Millennials 7-Eleven’s definition of people who are “Millennials�, refers to people in their late 30s to early 20s who are both chasing their dreams and leading a busy lifestyle. However, this term may also be applied more broadly to include all those people whose taste are formed by their hectic working lifestyle. Their lifestyle has shaped their taste in a way that allows them to identify the lifestyle suggested by 7-Eleven, regardless of age. Their taste in food, drinks, lifestyle and commercial spaces are clues to understanding the Millennials of Singapore. 45 45

The store name “7-Eleven” was created in 1946, to reflect the company’s new extended hours, 7:00am to 11:00pm, seven days per week. Afterwards, 7-Eleven introduced its first 24-hour store in the early 1960s, which is now a hallmark of 7-Eleven’s “around-the-clock” operating mode. We made little changes to your favorite convenient store logo. The words 7 and Eleven now seats in a cup. That we are all very familiar with a big gulp or a Slurpee you decide. 54

Typography plays a vital role in tying the brand together both in style and consistency. Museo Sans Rounded is a young font, a playful typeface that speaks to the Millenials. Whereas Helvetica is a classic font that has been around since the 1950s and 60s to pay tribute to 7-Eleven who has been in Singapore since 1983.
MUSEO SANS ROUNDEC Museo Sans Roundec is our secondary typeface used in headlines and call outs.
HELVETICA
