Daring to Succeed

National Free Slurpee Day/7-Eleven Birthday/711 Day/Convenience Store Day
-- Like so many great inventions, the Slurpee was created by accident. In the late 1950s, Omar Knedlik of Kansas City owned an old Dairy Queen whose machinery was always breaking down. When his soda fountain went out, he improvised by putting some bottles in the freezer to stay cool. However, when he popped the top, they were a little frozen and slushy. Folks loved them and started requesting those pops that were in a little bit longer.

-- Combining a tobacconist, newsstand, food mart, beer shop, and general store, the convenience store has undergone many transformations over the last 35 years, ever since a man decided to turn it into his life's business. That man is Alain Bouchard. Strangely, few people know his name, even in Quebec, where he lives. He is, however, one of Canada's wealthiest entrepreneurs, as well as one of the most peer-honored businessmen in the world.
