Oh Thank Heaven, A New Kansas City Metro 7-Eleven!

After 20 years, 7-Eleven, Inc. has opened a new store in the Kansas City area.

As part of the grand opening of the newest 7-Eleven® store for the metro area at 10701 Metcalf Ave. in Overland Park, a celebration will be held on Friday, Jan. 20, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event will feature free food sampling, food specials, prizes and a special appearance by 711 Friday.

“While 7-Eleven is an international company, our outlets are neighborhood stores,” said 7-Eleven market manager John Kincaid.  “Getting involved with what’s meaningful to the community is important to us and how we do business.  Store operators are encouraged to be active members of the community.  Because most live where they operate their store, they know best how to meet local needs – whether it’s their customers’ tastes in food, a local school’s call for volunteers or the police department’s request for donations.”

The grand opening celebration kicks off with the official ribbon-cutting at 10:45 a.m. that Friday and continues until 1 p.m.

New to the Kansas City market is 7-Eleven’s hot foods program.  “We regularly introduce new products in our stores to determine the right mix for our customers, and that means everything from hot pizza to Perrier, from fresh salads to Slurpee® drinks, from buffalo wings to breakfast pastries,” Kincaid said.

Products include fresh bakery products and 7-Eleven’s line of hot foods like pizza, chicken tenders, buffalo wings and breakfast quesadillas. 7-Eleven’s newest product line is the value-priced, private-brand of 7-Select™ snacks, candy, beverages, groceries and paper goods.  Offering between 10 and 20 percent savings compared to national brands carried in stores, 7-Select items have proven extremely popular with customers since their introduction.
