7-Eleven Opening First Store Inside of U.S. Airport At LAX

Los Angeles International Airport will be home to the first 7-Eleven store to be located inside of a U.S. airport terminal.

A grand opening ceremony will be held on June 24, 2014 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

LAX’s 7-Eleven will be located in the pre-security area of the new Tom Bradley International Terminal.

Designed to mirror a typical 7-Eleven store, the setup is designed to have a familiar feel and accommodate the needs of both travelers and airport employees.

The LAX 7-Eleven will sell hot and fresh food, snacks, beverages and other items tailored to travelers such as motion sickness remedies and travel size toiletries.

Unlike most 7-Eleven locations, the store inside of Los Angeles International Airport will not be open 24 hours. It will remain open from 6 a.m. to midnight daily.

Additional items available at the new Los Angeles International Airport 7-Eleven include the following, according to the company:
