The last N in 7-eleven's logo is lowercase, so this is legally distinct.

For a while in the 80s and 90s, we had a rival 7-11 chain called 6-12, with similar font and color scheme.

the rivals I remember were the Circle K
I wonder what it means but I don't care enough to look it up....
That must have been a regional thing. I don’t remember 6-12 at all.
DYK 7-11 was named such because if was originally open 7am to 11pm.

I figured it was because it was open 7 days a week for 11 hours per day...
Southland Corporation changed the stores' name to 7-Eleven in 1946 to reflect their expanded hours of operation (7 a.m. to 11 p.m.).
My excuse is I am not American (forgive me)
7am to 9pm is 14 hours.
