The original 7-Eleven was a franchise, and the owner hated keeping it open 24 hours.  He battled with the people at 7-Eleven corporate but refused to give up his store.  Their battle is still tied up in court.

So 7-Eleven finally decided the only option was to open a smaller 7-Eleven as close as possible . . . and this week they opened it in the parking lot.
