Funny bit of trivia! And odd to think of such a commercial establishment with non-healthy reputation going so green! (where twinkies, ho ho's, and dye infused drinks are the reputation) Definitely pushing the bounds of my brain to get my head wrapped around that one! lol Be awesome if this is the start to more stores incorporating trees, streams, natural lighting, and nature into their designs. I might be enticed into shopping more! lol

Yes - streams! I've yet to see a modern retail establishment with a river running through it. But now I won't rest until I do.

And... are you saying Twinkies are non-healthy? 😆

Thanks for the comment!

That's awesome, and a nice photo you grabbed along with your slurpee, Mike. I saw something similar once, a tree inside a store, but I don't remember where. Don't think it was your 7/11 because I'm more of an Oxxo guy....I think it was a restaurant. Wherever they wind up, it's a great idea!

p.s. I finally got the title.....

I'm more of an Oxxo guy too, Victor - with an occasional splash of Kiosko thrown in for variety. And I'm with you - more trees, indoors and out.

And yeah, that title - I was afraid it wouldn't make sense to a lot of people. But what the heck - I went with revealing my age 😉

Yeah, it finally dawned on me, some jingle from way back...:)
