DALLAS, Dec. 24 (UPI) -- When U.S. department stores, boutiques, malls and grocery stores are closed for Christmas Day, 7-Eleven expects its busiest day of the year on Christmas.
"Traditionally, Christmas Day is the busiest day of the year at 7-Eleven," said Cindy Davis, 7-Eleven senior vice president for merchandising. "A majority of our customers are men, and many have come to depend on another holiday tradition -- 7-Eleven being open round the clock on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day."
Davis says the stores have convenient gifts for both men and women, including a wide array of gift cards.
7-Eleven has learned that emergency purchases most often need to be made on Christmas Day when the majority of retailers are closed. In addition to batteries, food items frequently purchased at 7-Eleven over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays include: rolls and bread, milk, butter, eggs, whipped cream, eggnog, canned chicken broth, soft drinks, ice, and chips and snacks.
