7-Eleven Opens Seventh Evolution Store

Specialty Food Association

7-Eleven has opened its seventh Evolution Store in Prosper, Texas. The store features tacos on handmade tortillas from Laredo Taco Co., frozen margaritas on tap, a stocked wine cellar and beer cooler, fresh-baked croissants and cookies, customized espresso drinks, artisan craft sodas, and premium cigars in a cedar-lined humidor.

Each 7-Eleven Evolution Store is an experiential testing ground where customers can try and buy the retailer's latest innovations in a pioneering store format. Already this year, the retailer has opened two of the new concept stores in North Texas, with more planned nationwide in 2021.

"Evolution Stores and Laredo Taco Company taquerias have been game-changers for 7-Eleven, and we will continue to test and iterate to incorporate learnings into new and existing 7-Eleven stores across the system,"  said Chris Tanco, 7-Eleven executive vice president and chief operating officer, in a statement. "We can't wait to see this location's new patio concept become a fun gathering place for Prosper residents."
