Hello @asianhive community, hello everyone. It's my pleasure to greet each and everyone a Happy Sunday. Here I am today writing this content joining the challenge of @justinparke "ASEAN Hive Community Challenge #110 Neighborhood Shops".
I choose 7 Eleven as my entry, because this is the first time that we have a 24/7 convenience store in our Municipality Balingoan, Misamis Oriental Mindanao Philippines. And it is different from other store in our municipality. 7 Eleven convenience stores are well-known for their convenient locations and wide range of products. They have several unique features that differentiate them from other neighborhood shops.
๐ข 24 Hours Operation: 7 Eleven is known for its 24/7 operation, offering round-the-clock convenience to customers, unlike many local shops that have specific operating hours. In case emergency you can some products from their stores because they offers variety of products.
๐ข Wide Range of Products: 7 Eleven stores typically stock a diverse range of products including snacks, beverages, hot food, toiletries, and even some specialty items, providing customers with a one-stop shopping experience that may not be available in smaller local shops. And even specialty like Mister Donuts.They also have hot coffee, hot cup noodles like ramen, bulalo (free hot water) for you to enjoy the food.
๐ข Innovative Offerings: 7 Eleven is known for its innovative products and promotions, such as the iconic cold drinks like iced coffee, iced tea, cucumber lemonade, exclusive snacks, and limited-time offerings, setting it apart from traditional local shops.
๐ข Global Brand Recognition: As an international chain, 7 Eleven enjoys widespread brand recognition, which can attract customers seeking familiarity and consistency across different locations, a feature that many local shops may lack.
๐ข Tech Integration: Some 7 Eleven stores incorporate technology-driven features like self-checkout kiosks, mobile payment options, and loyalty programs, enhancing the overall shopping experience compared to many local shops that may not have such advanced systems. This is very helpful to everyone most especially at nights most small sari-sari stores already close, only 7-Eleven is open.
๐ข Consistent Standards: 7 Eleven maintains consistent standards across its stores, ensuring uniformity in product quality, cleanliness, and service levels, which may vary in local shops due to their independent ownership and management.
๐ข Franchise Model: 7 Eleven predominantly operates through a franchise model, allowing individuals to own and operate their own store under the brand's umbrella, a structure that differs from the independent ownership of most local shops.
๐ข Accessibility: 7 Eleven's strategic locations in urban centers, near transportation hubs, and along busy roads make them easily accessible to customers on-the-go, providing convenience that may not be as readily available in some local shops.
๐ข Innovative Store Design: Some 7 Eleven stores feature modern and innovative store designs, digital displays, and efficient layouts aimed at enhancing customer experience, which can set them apart from the traditional layout of many local shops.
That's all about my content about 7-Eleven. A very wel known convenience store in the country.
As I going back I passed by this on my way home this burger and shake stall. They have variety of foods to offer to their customers. Those market goers,carvanal riders and visitors from other places eat their snacks here as they offer affordable price of thier yummy burger and shake.
This stall cathes my attention as I remember this during Christmas time a lot of vendors sell this kind of product near church. After dawn mass they take their orders. Putong bumbong is a local made delicious products of a filipino. I appreciate the owner of this as he came away from our municipal in order to sell his products.
Until here.....i just hope that everyone would enjoy reading my entry about neighborhood shops. Have a nice day!!!
