==Tote'm Stores==
===1927–1946===
7-Eleven began as Tote'm, the name being derived from the totem pole placed in front of the first store. The first stores were originally Southland Ice Company ice docks that began selling milk, eggs, and other convenience items during hours when traditional grocery stores were closed.
==7-Eleven (first era)==
===1946–1950===
In 1946, the stores were rebranded as 7-Eleven to emphasize their long operations hours—7 a.m. to 11 p.m.
