7-Eleven Was a Lot Different Back in 1966…

The kindly gentleman in the bow-tie will look after your five-year-old when you send her to the convenience store for bread and milk.
I’m assuming this is one of the first national ads for Dallas company 7-Eleven as it expanded and expanded and expanded beyond Dallas and the South. How quaint.

Flashback : Dallas 
I frequently visited our 7-11 on Edgefield in Oak Cliff. I remember sugarcane being sold by the stalk and DP so cold it burned my throat. The pair set be back a whole .25…. Everybody loved our 7-11!

I remember the roll up garage doors the black / white television’s you could rent if you didn’t have one . the hot links with a couple of slices of bread yum . It was 7-11 cause it opened at 7 am and closed at 11pm nothing stayed open all night except a restaraunt . We had 7-11 to hang out at back then it was safe and fun . our store was at Llewellyn and Jefferson it sat catacornered before they demolished it . it was across from Sears . Everything is gone now nothing is left . Every house my school even places we shopped all gone but I am glad 7-11 is still here thank heaven for 7-11
