Last Week's Question - - If you were to suddenly become the owner and manager of a local "7 / 11," what, if any, changes would you make to the establishment (remember, you have an unlimited budget)?

------

Your Answers -

Nathaniel H. - I'd change its name to the 8/12 and take pictures of the weird looks of passersby with the security camera. Then I'd sell the footage to "America's Funniest, Though Not Particularly Hilarious, Convenience Store Video" and make millions. Of course, it would be sort of pointless, since I had unlimited funds to start with, but it would keep me off the streets and out of trouble.

Steve P - Change the name to 9/11 and the slogan to Everything you need in an emergency.

Lori W. - Change 7/11? hmmm...Well first I'd have to tear it completely down--it looks trashy the way it is--and start over from scratch. It doesn't matter exactly what it would look like, but I would put some solar panels on the darn thing. Instead of selling gas, it would provide a charging station for all the electric cars that everyone has around here. Oh, and there would be no junk food either. All food would be completely organic HEALTH food...to treat our bodies right of course. mmmmm...The most important thing is free slushies--made from fresh fruit--for everyone!!! 7/11 is so cool.

Justin S. - I would make 7/11 be a theme place where each week would mean a new theme like Mexican, Ninja, Outer Space, Super Hero, Famous World Leaders, Frequently Used Verbs, etc. That way, patrons and employees would never get bored…or they would go insane…either way, a newspaper somewhere would report on it.

This Week's Question - Have you ever been sprawled out upon a grassy field, looking up at the vast sea of sky with all the clouds sailing by? Did you ever see anything profound or prophetic? Yes? What was it?
