For a while in the 80s and 90s, we had a rival 7-11 chain called 6-12, with similar font and color scheme.

I figured it was because it was open 7 days a week for 11 hours per day...

Southland Corporation changed the stores' name to 7-Eleven in 1946 to reflect their expanded hours of operation (7 a.m. to 11 p.m.).

My excuse is I am not American (forgive me)

But the sign says they sell CBD. Probably doesn’t sell THC. But I don’t know what/who ENOOY is.

Pardon meant 11pm, Freudian slip.

That must have been a regional thing. I don’t remember 6-12 at all.

The last N in 7-eleven's logo is lowercase, so this is legally distinct.

7-11 has the best cookies. Do NOT pass up those 6 count boxes next to the register, they are the best commercial cookies in existence, and they're only $3.49. A store owner once told me they ship them in from a big cookie factory in NY that has a great reputation. Not all stores carry them, but when I see them, I ALWAYS buy a box of chocolate chips.
