Fake 7-Elevens That Fool No One

Not that they would! But the next time you step into a, say, 7-Twelve in China or a 7-Minutes in Russia, remember that you’re not actually in a 7-Eleven. Got it? Of course you do. Recently, Twitter user Livein_Chinauploaded the above pic of a faux convenience store. But China is hardly alone in being home to fake 7-Elevens (the vast majority of 7-Elevens there are totally real). You can find them the world over. Obviously, most are local small mom and pop operations, trying to make a quick buck.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Via Matome Naver, here are some more standout phonies from around the world: 7 Days.

Looks legit. 7-Mercy. Yep. This convenience store was located in Japan yono all app and has since been shuttered. Fittingly, a real 7-Eleven opened nearby. I’m assuming 7-Mercy was closed down after 7-Eleven became a Japanese-owned company.
