24-Hour Convenient Stores are a great help when traveling, and it's not an exception in Penang. Here, you can find 7-Elevens in most places. In addition, there is also the local 24-hour mini-market called "Happy Mart".
The most ubiquitous Convenient Stores in Penang are the 7-Eleven stores, which are found practically everywhere. Often there could be more than one 7-Eleven stores on the same road. Listed here is the address and phone number of the 7-Eleven stores in Penang. Happy Mart is not as common as 7-Eleven, but they are making in-roads in Penang. If you discover a 7-Eleven or Happy Mart that is not listed in the map above, please inform me, and I'll get it listed as soon as possible.
When I travel, convenient stores such as the 7-Eleven are a boon to me, especially in this age when we are no longer allowed to carry bottled water around. The first thing I do, as soon as I have a chance, is to locate the convenient store where I visit, to top up on bottled water and anything else that I may need. They are truly such a life saver!
I love Google Earth
Throughout this website, you will find that I use Google Earth very often to pinpoint precise locations of places I describe. For example, I may provide location details such as Latitude of 5°22'8.37"N and Longitude of 100°15'40.00"E. You can go to Google Earth and key in 5°22'8.37"N, 100°15'40.00"E and see precisely where the place is located on earth. It is easy, fun, mersmerizing and informative!
