Kernersville, N.C. – The 7-Eleven® store at 1005 S.

The grand opening celebration is planned for Wednesday, September 20, the day the store officially opens to the public.

Reginald Noble
Neighborhood 7-Eleven stores are typically franchised by local entrepreneurs, who are members of the community where they operate their stores. The open house gives franchisee Reginald Noble an opportunity to meet and greet his new neighbors and customers. Noble is a 20-year retired Navy veteran who has been with 7-Eleven for 12 years as a store manager. He has been a Winston Salem resident for the last five years.
Brian Mulcahy
Brian Mulcahy, franchise sales representative, said, “Reginald has a formidable history with 7-Eleven. It is exciting to see him taking over this store, and we are confident that he will thrive here.”

To participate, customers must use the 7-Eleven’s mobile app, available in the iTunes App Store or Google Play, and register as a member.
