7-Eleven Confirms To CBS: "An Ongoing Storefront Safety Initiative" To Prevent Storefront Crashes.

Rob Reiter, co-founder of the Storefront Safety Council, is interviewed and our Council accident data was used by CBS in their recent Inside Edition report on the frequency of storefront crashes at 7-Eleven and other convenience stores nationwide. A vehicle crashes into convenience stores more than 20 times every day in the US, and 7-Eleven has suffered an astonishing average of 1.3 crashes every single day. Earlier this year, the retailer agreed to pay a $91 million settlement in a tragic Illinois incident before it went to trial.


In a statement to Inside Edition, 7-Eleven says "safety is a top priority. They say while there are no nationwide bollard regulations, they have implemented an ongoing storefront safety initiative that will retrofit thousands of their stores with perimeter safety bollards."


Here is the full report from Inside Edition.

Been writing a small fan fiction project lately, and this star wars name generator helped me come up with side character names without breaking the vibe of the setting.

It’s shocking to see how often these storefront crashes happen and how many lives are affected. Stronger safety measures like bollards should be a standard everywhere, not optional. Hopefully more businesses take action before more tragedies occur. Also been taking a break with some volleyball legends codes lately — definitely less stressful than reading stories like this.

As players aim to achieve both aesthetically pleasing and performance-based goals, these factors give an extra level of space waves challenge and motivate them to keep playing. Repetition can feel exciting and new with even little cosmetic changes.

I strongly support this initiative Granny Game of 7-Eleven! Installing bollards will definitely help protect customers, employees and reduce tragic accidents.
