USA: 7-Eleven opens first-ever hospital pop-up store
The convenience retailer teams up with the leading pediatric health care system in North Texas to bring essentials products to health care workers and patient families.
7‑Eleven has opened its first-ever hospital pop-up store at Children’s Medical Center Dallas, the flagship hospital of Children’s Health. The store provides access to food and essential items for health care workers and patient families during the COVID-19 health crisis.
“Our health care team members are on the frontlines in the fight against COVID-19 every day taking care of the children in our community while their own families are home from school, work and their daily routines,” said Chris Durovich, president and CEO of Children’s Health. “Our work with 7‑Eleven allows us to provide more comfort and convenience to those within our facilities by making everyday essential items easy to locate, purchase and take home.”
“The doctors, nurses and care teams at Children’s Health are true heroes,” said 7‑Eleven President and CEO Joe DePinto. “When Children’s Health asked us to provide their team members convenient access to essentials during this unprecedented time, our team rose to meet the challenge; opening this first-of-its-kind store in less than 2 weeks. We are so proud to serve those on the front line of this pandemic.”
In addition, 7‑Eleven is assisting stores near the two other hospitals in the Children’s Health system, Children’s Medical Center Plano and Our Children’s House in Dallas, to have the products needed to serve health care workers at each of these locations.
