7-Eleven has a copycat competitor called 8-Twelve Convenience Store

Move over 7-Eleven, 8-Twelve is here.

You wouldn’t believe what’s taking the internet by storm. Facebook user Joed Barallas posted a photo of a curiously named convenience store on his page a couple of days ago that has since gone viral:

8-Twelve, Bicol, Convenience Store, 7-Eleven

7-Eleven, meet your new competitor, 8-Twelve.

Yep, you read that right.

Joed Barallas took the photo in Brgy Tabugon, Sta. Elena, Camarines Norte, during a stopover on his way to Bicol. The familiar color scheme and the wordplay on the name caught his attention.

His post immediately sparked with 6.8K reactions, 10.6K shares, and 748 comments. It has even become meme-worthy!
