From 7/11 to 11/7: Inside Look at the New Direction for 11/7
By: Sky H.E. Volante
5/11/24
We all know 11/7 as the place that's always open, day or night, afternoon or evening, it’s always open! Until recently of course when it suddenly closed. But with a new owner of the establishment taking charge, I had the chance to sit down with them and find out what's different now at the store. Read it fully now!
[!] As the video starts, it would show both the new 11/7 owner ‘Zheng Tsu’ and of course, Mrs. Volante [!]
Zheng: "-I'm all ready."
Sky: Seemed slightly nervous, awkward if anything, giving him a tight smile as she started. "Wonderful. May you introduce yourself to us, then, Sir?"
Zheng: “Yes! Of course, My name is Zheng Tsu, husband to the former Deputy-Mayor Yui Tsu. And current owner of 11-7."
Sky: Hummed, "As people have heard, 11/7 is no longer owned by the city, and as you've said your the new owner, why is that?"
Zheng: "Well, I did go into a previous business venture, which was known as Ushi No Koya. The burger restuarant- but honestly, I found it lacked money-making potential."
Zheng: "Now, owning a business isn't just about making money, but I felt that although it was fun to host get-togethers for the community. The 11-7 opening again would be far more practical."
Sky: "Fair then honestly. Being the new owner of course, what does that change from what we previously knew with 11/7? Anything new or...?"
Zheng: "Well, the previous store was open 24/7... Until it wasn't."
Zheng: "And unlike then I treat my employees as HUMAN BEINGS!!! Meaning they can only work up to 8 hours in a row until someone else needs to swap. Also, the prices are lower on most things, and we've got a HUGE selection."
Sky: "I've noticed that actually, you have much more of a wide variety now especially I've visited earlier. Are positions currently open at 11/7? Or are they all filled Sir?"
Zheng: "Well, we're currently settling in with our employee roster, I've brought some across from my previous business, but we're always looking to expand in the future, but I'm not currently employing new cashiers, perhaps not until next month."
Sky: Nodded at that, "well, this interview is mostly just updating the people and the changes to 11/7, thank you for the opportunity for doing this with me then, Sir. Do you have anything you wish to say to the audience and readers before we end this?"
Zheng: "Uhhh, not really. Live your life to the fullest, oh, and also buy some light sabers from us to get ready for May the 4th!!!"
Sky: laughed softly at that, "great way to advertise your product-" [!] The interview would end there. [!]
Sir Tsu's interview tells more about the changes he's implemented to our beloved 11/7 establishment. Breaking away from the round-the-clock schedule, he has made it so the employees' well-being is prioritized. Adding to it, Sir Tsu also made items much more affordable and with plenty of variety now on the store's shelves. While not currently hiring, he does hope more will tune in for future projects and events for the 11/7!
