Convenience chain 7-Eleven Inc. (Dallas) underwent its fastest store-renovation effort ever by upgrading more than 1000 of its stores on the East Coast within four months.

The schedule called for 60 stores to be renovated each week.

The process began in March, when the convenience retailer added revamped coffee bars, hot-foods equipment and, in some cases, updated stores' interiors with new walls, floors, ceilings, lighting and fixtures. The company also repaved parking lots or upgraded the exteriors.

7-Eleven operates, franchises or licenses more than 8600 stores in North America and is considering store-remodel programs in other parts of the U.S.
