7/11 opens in Cambodia!!!

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I think that is the 7 / 24 franchise, not 7 / 11.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

The name "7/11" refers to the original hours of operation: 7 am to 11 pm. This was eventually extended to 6 am to midnight, and later the full 24 hours except on Christmas, when they closed at 5 or 6 pm, at least the one in my small hometown.

Anyway, it was quite a novel idea about 45 years ago but hardly noteworthy these days in a city that already has an abundance of convenience stores.

"I went down the street to the 24-hour grocery. When I got there, the guy was locking the front door. I said, 'Hey, the sign says you're open 24 hours.' He said, 'Yes, but not in a row.'

What really surpsied me is the number of starbucks all over the place.

The 7-Elephants mini-mart will always be better. Classic Cambodia.
