LS Travel Retail North America has announced the opening of the first 7-Eleven convenience store in an airport at Los Angeles International (LAX). The store was brought in as part of Los Angeles World Airports’ development program.
“With a post-security environment that rivals some of the world’s best airports in design, dining, retail and amenities, we are pleased to begin debuting the next phase of the new Tom Bradley International Terminal within the pre-security area,” says Keith Kaplan, vice president of development at Westfield. “We are confident this 7-Eleven concept will enhance the experience of arriving travelers, the throngs of people who wait to meet and greet them, and thousands of LAX employees.”
The 7-Eleven will offer hot food, pre-packaged items, fountain drinks, snacks and ice cream, as well as magazines, accessories and other convenience-related items.
“We believe visitors and airport employees will be pleasantly surprised at how many of their travel and everyday needs 7-Eleven can fill in just under 1,000 square feet,” says Norm Hower, 7-Eleven’s zone leader for the greater Los Angeles area. “Just as with every 7-Eleven, we customize each store’s product mix to offer what our customers want. Travelers and those in the travel industry have needs for products you might not find at a neighborhood 7-Eleven. 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 Tom Bradley International Terminal every day.”
