7-Eleven Opens Its First Post-Security Airport Store in U.S.

Retailer creates exclusive "snack pack" for travelers at DFW

DALLAS -- The first 7-Eleven convenience store located behind security inside a U.S. airport terminal has debuted at the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport (DFW) with a selection of products and services tailored to travelers and airport employees.

7 eleven airport products

The store is open from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. to best serve travelers.

7-Eleven created an exclusive, value-priced “snack pack” containing a small bag of multi-grain pita chips, white cheddar cheese and salami sticks, a pouch of pitted green olives, a dried-fruit blend, thin chocolate cookies, Gummi bears and a butter mint. This product is only available at this store.

“We believe visitors and airport employees will be pleasantly surprised at how many of their travel and everyday needs 7-Eleven can fill,” said Doug Rosencrans, 7-Eleven vice president for stores in Texas. “Whether they are arriving at their final destination or in the middle of a work shift, we look forward to serving the thousands who come through DFW’s A Terminal every day.”

7-Eleven Inc., DFW Airport and Paradies Lagardère Travel Retail, the concessionaire operating this new location, will hold a customer appreciation event November 11 from 3 p.m. o 4 p.m. at the store located near Terminal A’s Gate 25.

Because the event takes place on Veterans Day, 7-Eleven will present the Texas Christian University Army ROTC with a $711 Project A-Game grant for its Cadet Fund, and Paradies Lagardère Travel Retail will donate $711 to the DFW Airport USO organization.

In June, 7-Eleven opened its first in-terminal convenience store at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) Airport welcomes more than 63 million customers along their journey every year, with 149 domestic and 57 international nonstop destinations worldwide.

Atlanta-based Paradies Lagardère is the North American Division of Lagardère Travel Retail, a world leader in travel retail and food and beverage concessions with operations in more than 30 countries and 217 airports throughout Europe, North America, Asia and the Pacific. With more than 4,100 airport stores and restaurants, it runs the largest international network of duty free and luxury, travel essentials and foodservice stores and restaurants.
