Eric Cheong was confused by the operating hours policy of 7-Eleven stores in Singapore. He is not the only one, judging by the response of shoppers that he had observed at VivoCity on 11 Nov. The VivoCity outlet had shut its doors by 10pm, according to Mr Cheong, drawing "lots of surprise, amusement and even some anger when some shoppers tried to enter the store and were greeted by a closed glass door instead." Mr Cheong observed the situation for ten minutes, and said that almost 20 shoppers were left disappointed. Many were left puzzled as they had thought 7-Eleven stores operated round the clock.
UPDATE:
7-Eleven has responded regarding the opening hours of its outlets, including the VivoCity branch.
"Currently, the outlet at VivoCity is open between 9am to 10pm daily due to some building restrictions. However, we are still reviewing with the
management of VivoCity on the extension of the operating hours.
We would sincerely appreciate the kind understanding and patience of our
customers in this regard.
As for 7-Eleven's policy on our operating hours, most of our outlets do
operate on a 24-hour basis. However, outlets that are within commercial
buildings or public places with limited or no access after certain hours,
operate between 7am to 11pm daily. These include locations in Citilink Mall,
SMU, Biopolis, MRT Stations, for example."
