7-Eleven

Claim to fame: Largest chain of convenient stores. Over 28,000 stores located in 20 countries.
Created in: 1946.
Was originally called: Speedee-Mart.
Logic behind the name: Initially, these stores used to be open from 7 am to 11 pm.
Trademark trivia: The 'n' in the brand name is always written in lower case. As in 7 ELEVEn.

Why I like it: It's catchy. And it's a very un-mart name.
