White Hen Pantry (known as White Hen in the midwest) was a Lombard, Illinois-based chain of approximately 261 predominantly franchisee-owned convenience stores located in the greater Chicago and Boston / New England areas of the United States. Most of the stores are open 24 hours and offer an array of standard convenience store fare such as coffees, cappuccinos, frozen and dry goods and toiletries. Many also have full delis serving boxed sandwiches and salads, name-brand meats and cheeses and fresh fruits and vegetables. White Hen's array of services includes catering options and sales of external holiday gift cards. Most stores also have ATM's and provide lottery ticket sales; White Hen is the largest lottery ticket vendor in the state of Illinois.
All of White Hen Pantry locations are expected to be rebranded as 7-Eleven stores by the end of 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or hen:
“During my administration the most unpleasant and perhaps most dramatic negotiations in which we participated were with the various leaders of Iran after the seizure of American hostages in November 1979. The Algerians were finally chosen as the only intermediaries who were considered trustworthy both by me and the Ayatollah Khomeini. After many aborted efforts, final success was achieved during my last few hours in the White House.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“The house-dog lost,
the little hen escaped,
the precious hay-rick scattered,”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
