Most Aesthetically Pleasing 7-Eleven Stores in Taiwan

In Taiwan and tired of the usual sights? Step into the world of themed 7-Elevens, where design meets fandom and shopping. From anime icons to snack-inspired decor, each store turns a quick stop into a must-see experience. Honestly, I wish I’d known about them when we were there.

Begin your exploration in Taipei, where Peanuts enthusiasts will find two Snoopy-themed 7-Elevens. The most iconic branch is near Huashan 1914 Creative Park, located at No. 37, Shaoxing North Street in the Zhongzheng District. Inside, visitors are welcomed by a recreation of the Peanuts school bus, basement seating areas styled with Snoopy chairs, and shelves filled with exclusive Peanuts merchandise.

A second, smaller branch sits at No. 36, Hankou Street, offering a similar but more compact experience closer to Taipei Main Station.

Just a short walk away, Open Chan Dream World offers a vibrant tribute to Taiwan’s own 7-Eleven mascot. This location, situated at No. 185, Section 2, Zhonghua Road in Wanhua District, features a large in-store cafe where a life-sized DJ booth of Open Chan draws visitors in. Guests can create and customize their own Open Chan T-shirts at the print kiosk with staff assistance, turning a simple visit into a creative souvenir experience.

Ximending is also home to the Lay’s-themed 7-Eleven, a must-see for snack lovers. Found at No. 114, Section 2, Wuchang Street in Wanhua District, this branch is impossible to miss with its bright yellow branding and playful chip-themed interiors.

One of the standout features is a dining table designed like a foosball setup, but with Lay’s packets replacing the players. This store is a popular stop for those searching for rare or seasonal potato chip flavors that are difficult to find elsewhere.

Just blocks away, the Hello Kitty-themed 7-Eleven is located at No. 41, Section 1, Zhonghua Road in the Zhongzheng District. With a life-sized Hello Kitty statue at the entrance and themed decor throughout, it’s a dream come true for Sanrio fans. Tables in the dining area are topped with clear panels showcasing Hello Kitty merchandise, creating a space that feels equal parts cafe and character boutique.

Another standout in the area is the Mofusand-themed 7-Eleven, located at No. 42, Section 1, Kaifeng Street in Zhongzheng District. Mofusand, a character created by Japanese illustrator Juno, is known for cats dressed in quirky costumes ranging from shark outfits to onigiri hats. This store perfectly captures the whimsical appeal of the brand with exclusive plush toys and themed goods that appeal to both fans and casual shoppers alike. This is my personal favorite.

For those exploring southern Taiwan, Kaohsiung boasts one of the only two Pokémon-themed 7-Elevens in the country. Found at No. 1152, Huaxia Road in Zuoying District, it is easily accessible from both the Zuoying HSR station and Xin Zuoying local train station. The exterior is covered in bright murals featuring Pikachu, Ivysaur, Charmander, and more. Inside, the store is styled like a fantastical forest, with characters appearing on ceilings, walls, and behind counters. A large Gengar display near the checkout has become a favorite photo spot.

As you can see, Taiwan’s 7-Elevens are more than just convenience stores. These themed spots invite you to explore and sip your favorite drink beside beloved characters. Which one are you most excited to visit?

Mid-Transit Theft at Changi Ends in Jail Time

In a rare case of mid-transit crime at one of the world’s most secure airports, an American dentist and his engineer wife were sentenced after being caught shoplifting high-end items at Changi Airport.

On June 23, while en route from the United States to India, 35-year-old Kapadia Husain Zoher entered the Louis Vuitton boutique at Terminal 1 of Changi Airport. Inside, he quietly pocketed a luxury card holder worth around S$600. Just minutes later, at Terminal 3, he and his wife, 30-year-old Kapadia Amatullah, entered The Shilla Duty Free store, where he again slipped a bottle of Dior Sauvage perfume worth about S$160 into his pocket while his wife stood watch. The two then continued through transit, preparing to board their connecting flight to Mumbai.

What they didn’t know was that both acts were captured on high resolution CCTV footage, and Changi’s security network was already in motion. Airport police had identified the couple within the hour. Before their aircraft could leave the tarmac, officers intervened and escorted them off the plane.

Zoher, who pleaded guilty to one count of theft, was sentenced on August 4 to 18 days in jail. Both stolen items were recovered and returned to the stores.

Singapore’s zero tolerance approach to crime extends to everyone, regardless of nationality. Shoplifting, even when minor, can result in immediate arrest, prosecution, and jail time.

Furthermore, foreigners convicted of theft in Singapore often face more than just jail. Deportation is common, along with blacklisting from future travel to the country. Criminal records can also affect work opportunities and visa approvals elsewhere in the region.

Singaporean courts take a firm stance on crimes committed by visitors, especially in high security areas like Changi Airport. In this case, swift coordination between terminals and clear CCTV footage led to a prompt arrest and delivered a strong message that in Singapore the law follows you wherever you go.
