Mighty Seven Eleven 24/7

How many of us really know what Seven Eleven is? Yeah, we all know it is a convenience store chain because it pops up one new store every five hours in the US.

But, did you know that majority stake of 7-11 is owned by a Japanese company? Did you know that it traded on NYSE under the symbol SE? Click here to see more info on Seven Eleven.

If you are wondering that how did I suddenly started rambling about Seven Eleven when all this while I was yapping about Google and the Internet world. Two incidents caught my attention; Donald Trump's last Apprentice show and the news that Citibank has partnered with Seven Eleven's ATM machines. The mighty two just recognized the power of consumer access.

PS: Believe it or not I was going to discontinue my account with Citibank the day I found that they partnered with 7-11, for the reason that they do not have any ATMs/Branches where I live. After the news I decided to continue with Citibank. Very smart move.
