Marak nya Fenomena "Seven Eleven" di Jakarta

Teman-teman, teman-teman sering lihat dijalan-jalan sudah banyak seven eleven bertebaran dimana. Di tempat itu pula banyak pria atau wanita, tua atau muda dari anak sd sampai kantoran semua banyak yang nongkrong disitu. Heran ga sih kenapa banyak orang yang nongkrong disitu? Nah kita bahas yuukk!

Seperti biasa gue nge cek ke wikipedia terlebih dahulu untuk mencari "arti" dari seven eleven yang sesungguhnya. Nah disana gue mendapatkan kesimpulan bahwa seven eleven adalah sebuah toko klontong 24 jam asal Amerika Serikat yang sejak tahun 2005 kepemilikannya dipegang Seven & I Holdings Co., sebuah perusahaan Jepang. Terus kenapa diberi nama seven eleven? Ternyata sebelum toko 24 jam pertama dibuka di Austin, Texas pada tahun 1962, 7-Eleven buka dari jam 7 pagi hingga 11 malam. Makanya diberi nama Seven Eleven atau 711 yang maksudnya buka jam 7-11. Kreatif ya orang yang ngasih nama.

Nah mulai sekitar tahun 2009 seven eleven (abis ini ngetik nya 711 aja ah kepanjangan kalo ngetik seven eleven) masuk ke Jakarta. Gerai pertama yang gue tau tuh adanya di mahakam deket kfc. Itu juga gue baru sekali kesana. Dan itu juga masih ga terlalu rame. Ga kaya sekarang setiap di 711 pasti ada minimal 10 orang yg nongkrong. Kalo pas jam jam rame yg nongkrong bisa nyampe 100.000 orang!! Hhahahahha kaga itu gue lebay doang. Paling sekitar 30-50 orang deh. Tapi kayanya lebay jg ye banyak banget yg nongkrong.

Tapi heran ga sih kenapa banyak banget orang yg nongkrong disana? Coba bandingin kalo 711 di Jepang tuh "hanya" seperti indomaret, alfamart atau yomart di Indonesia. Tapi mengapa 711 disini begitu wah?? Dibawah ini gambar 711 di Jepang.
Lihat hanya seperti minimarket biasa yg menjual berbagai macam kebutuhan sehari-hari. Tidak ada tempat duduk buat nongkrong diluar dan tidak ada yg menongkrong (aneh banget bahasa gue menongkrong).

Bandingkan dengan salah satu 711 di Jakarta.
Apa yg terlintas dibenak Anda setelah melihat gambar diatas? Besar, ramai, heboh! 711 di Jakarta memang memiliki bangunan yg lumayan besar. Banyak tempat duduk diluar, di dalam juga ada. Lalu banyak pula orang-orang yg menongkrong. Lihat banyak anak muda yg duduk duduk di ubin di kanan gambar, itu karena dia rela duduk berlama-lama disana sembari mengobrol dan memakan makanan yg dijual di 711. Makanan apa saja sih yang menjadi ciri khas dari 711?

1. Slurpe, minuman es parut bersoda yang sangat dingin sehingga katanya bisa membekukan otak! Lebay yee. Ini minuman banyak banget yang beli. Hanya dengan Rp. 6000 Anda sudah dapat membawa pulang minuman ini dengan ukuran kecil.


2. Gulp, minuman bersoda seperti coca cola, pepsi, fanta, mirinda dll deh.


3. Big Bite, hot dog khas 711. Rasanya enak dan kita bisa ngambil saus dan keju sepuasnyaaa. Ini dia yang bikin gue sering banget dateng ke 711. Harganya ga lebih dari Rp. 20000 boss!!


Masih banyak produk-produk makanan yang dijual oleh 711. Ketiga produk tadi menurut saya merupakan "senjata utama" untuk menarik banyak pembeli. Selain itu manajemen 711 di Indonesia cukup pintar dalam mencari keuntungan. Budaya orang-orang Indonesia yang suka nongkrong dan ngobrol ngalur ngidul di imbangi dengan dibuatnya gerai gerai 711 yang nyaman dan makanan yang enak sehingga bukan tidak mungkin gerai 711 di Jakarta akan bertambah banyak lagi dan mengalahkan circle k yang sudah lebih dahulu ada di Indonesia. Tapi 711 tidak akan mengalahkan minimarket seperti indomaret, alfamart dan yomart karena pemerintah Indonesia terus mengawasi 711 agar tidak berubah menjadi minimarket karena menurut undang-undang kepemilikan waralaba minimarket harus dari pihak lokal.

Mau nongkrong di 711, berikut ini daftar 711 yg ada di Jakarta yang baru saya ketahui hehehe yang lainnya menyusul.
