Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Looks like 7-Eleven's new private-label wine is but the beginning of the Dallas-based convenience-store chain's plan to conquer the world. Mark Herron, the senior product director for all things private label, tells Convenience Store News there's more to come: "By developing a global brand, 7-Eleven can better leverage our brand strength and scale with customers all over the world." Up next: "a premium wine, possibly from U.S. or Europe."
Incidentally, this is the result of 7-Eleven's having created what it calls a global customer Current Situation Analysis, or CSA, that determines worldwide customers' "taste preferences and the value proposition." Maybe they should just call Dave? In related news, 7-Eleven's still on track to add 75 news stores in the DFW between now and 2012, which, of course, is when the world will end. Now, everyone, dance the slurp!
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
