7-Eleven Scores New
Location at Texas Live!
in Arlington
7-Eleven, Inc. has scored a new location at the hottest
spot in Arlington.
The world’s largest convenience store chain held a grand
opening Friday, April 19, at its newest location at Texas
Live! with appearances by Texas Rangers Hall of Fame
catcher and former Ranger Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez (#7)
and Texas Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman (#11).
“7-Eleven was born and raised in the Dallas-Fort Worth
(DFW) metroplex, and we are excited to meet our fans
where they celebrate our great city’s team wins – at
Texas Live!” said Charles Bantos, Director of Corporate
Development for 7-Eleven. “Our goal is to make life easier
for our customers and provide game-day essentials at a
one-stop-shop, and we’re thrilled to offer our guests the
convenience they know and love during big games.”
Ideally positioned between the Texas Rangers’ Globe
Life Park and the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium, the
700-square-foot store will be located on the plaza and
will carry 7-Eleven fan favorites, including Big Gulp® and
Slurpee® drinks, as well as coffee, 7-Select™ products
and other popular convenience store go-to items.
The store will be open limited hours, 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Sunday through Thursday, and 7 a.m. to 3 a.m. Friday
and Saturday. Operating hours will expand as needed to
accommodate events in the Entertainment District.
“We are thrilled to welcome 7-Eleven, a global brand
with a North Texas heritage, to Texas Live!,” said Joe
Januszewski, EVP, Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer
of Texas Rangers Baseball Club. “The wide selection of
food, beverage and entertainment products on offer
here at Texas Live! are complemented well by 7-Eleven’s
mix of convenience-based goods. We look forward to
collaborating with 7-Eleven for many years to come.”
7-Eleven encourages customers to take advantage of its
7Rewards® mobile loyalty program when shopping for
game-day treats. Shoppers can earn and redeem rewards
points toward hundreds of 7-Eleven products including
coffee, Slurpee® drinks, chips and fresh food items. The
app is available in the App Store and Google Play.
Major Networks Will
Broadcast XFL Games
From Arlington
Arlington's Globe Life Park will keep its place in the
national spotlight as home to a new XFL team. The
league announced the television schedule Monday
for its inaugural 2020 season.
The XFL has partnered with some of the biggest
names in sports to televise games, including ABC,
ESPN and Fox. That means Globe Life Park will
continue to be seen on the national stage, even
after the Texas Rangers move to the new Globe Life
Field.
“We are thrilled to partner with ESPN and FOX
Sports,” said Vince McMahon, XFL Founder and
Chairman. “The XFL broadcast schedule provides us
with incredible reach and makes it easy for fans to
watch our games consistently every weekend.”
XFL games will be broadcast as double headers,
twice a weekend. The Saturday games will air at
1 p.m. on ABC stations; Fox will carry the second
game. Sunday's two games will air primarily on
cable, including ESPN and FS1.
The North Texas XFL team is still without a name,
but former University of Oklahoma coach Bob
Stoops has been hired as head coach and general
manager.
The 10-week 2020 season opens Saturday, February
8. The championship game is Sunday, April 26.
