7-Eleven Singapore launches self-care spots at dining spaces islandwide

7-Eleven Singapore has introduced self-care spots, called Take Five Spots, in dining areas across over 60 stores islandwide. The initiative provides customers with self-guided breathing exercises and mental well-being resources. At these designated spots, shoppers can engage in two simple breathing techniques: Five Finger Breathing, which involves tracing each finger while inhaling and exhaling, and Box Breathing, a four-count rhythm of breathing in, holding, breathing out, and holding.

These exercises were selected for their simplicity, making them accessible to individuals of all ages and capable of being completed in a short span of time. The Take Five Spot initiative aims to enhance the significance of time spent in 7-Eleven stores and make self-care moments more convenient in daily life. Anushree Khosla, managing director of 7-Eleven Singapore, emphasized the importance of evolving alongside community challenges and incorporating self-care into customers' time at the retailer.

Early feedback from children and youths has been positive, motivating the company to continue its role as a force for good in everyday life. Plans are underway to expand the Take Five Spot initiative to additional 7-Eleven outlets with dine-in spaces.
