24/7 (also written as 24-7 and 24-Seven) is a chain of convenience stores featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The store is also featured in Rockstar North's Manhunt series.
Description[]
The 24/7 makes its first appearance in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City due to reused early development assets from Manhunt, where the 24/7 is derived from. In both games and its subsequent appearance in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the 24/7 franchise also operates other convenience stores and delicatessens, including Calleggi Delicatessen Restaurant, Mick's Deli, Top Hat Liquor, 69¢ Only Stores and Roboi's Food Mart.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Manhunt[]
A single 24/7 appears in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City operating the Calleggi Delicatessen Restaurant branch of Little Havana in Vice City Mainland, serving as one of the 15 possible store robbery locations required for 100% completion. In Manhunt, all 24/7 stores found in Carcer City are defunct and abandonded, serving only as part of the scenery.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
24/7 stores are widely spread throughout San Andreas. While nearly all 24/7 outlets tend to have distinctive exteriors, some even operating under alternate names (i.e. Roboi's Food Mart, Top Hat Liquor and the 69¢ Only Stores), all branches have closely related interiors, which feature a combination of store shelves that cycle with each visit. Unlike other businesses in the game, 24/7 stores don't have a dedicated map blip.
The 24/7 logo in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas closely resembles 7-Eleven's logo. The main distinctions lie in the wording and the colors used for the numbers; additionally, the real 7-Eleven logo features a slightly darker green background. Texture names for 24-7 outlets also incorporate "7_11" or "711"; The interior logo of 24/7 is different, and is colored white, yellow and blue, perhaps being a beta design of the logo.
Despite their frequent locations and enterable interiors, the stores have limited interactivity. beyond providing the ability to purchase food or drinks from vending machines. The 24/7 stores serve no storyline-related or 100% completion purpose in GTA San Andreas.
Influence[]
24/7 is inspired by the 7-Eleven convenience store chain.
Interiors[]
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
In GTA San Andreas, 24/7 stores use a total of three different interiors internally named "X7_11S", "X711S2" and "X7_11B". X7_11S and X7_11B, which are used for all but one 24/7 store, occupy a smaller area and features the aforementioned vending machines and arcade games. However, X711S2, which is linked to the west Mulholland, Los Santos outlet, features a moderately deep interior but has no vending machine or arcade cabinet, rendering that outlet useless in gameplay.
There are additionally three unused 24/7 interiors, "X711S3", "X7_11C" and "X7_11D", that are only accessible via in the interior realm. X7_11C is designed as a moderately large interior; X711S3 and X7_11D are the two largest 24/7 interiors, with X7_11D bearing a unique L-shaped floorplan.
The interiors tend to feature a clerk manning the stores' counter, while two to four pedestrians (or customers) are usually found roaming the aisles, uttering unique shopping-related lines, as well as performing animated sequences where they retrieve items from store shelves and interacting with the player only if provoked. Customers may also interact with the store clerk in a short animation, but the customers never leave the store. The store shelves are also fairly detailed, featuring various branded products like Love Juice, Cherry Popper ice-cream or pizzas from Vice City.

Trivia[]
General[]
- The BMW M3 GTR GT (E46) in Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) always appears with one of five liveries applied. The Race livery is likely inspired by this brand's name and colors.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
- The stated list of ingredients on the store's own budget "Savings" range is just random gibberish, which could be lampooning the use of artificial ingredients in processed foods.
- San Fierro is the only city in San Andreas that does not have any 24/7s.
- Pedestrians can be seen picking products from shelves and apparently storing them in their pockets, indicating that they are probably shoplifting.
