Last week's trivia answer

Born in 1927 and based in Dallas, I pioneered the convenience store concept when I started selling groceries at an ice store. In 1946 I extended my hours and changed my stores' name to reflect them. I boast about 34,000 stores in 14 nations and ring up more than $45 billion annually. Customers often take a big bite or big gulp of my products, or just slurp them. I sell 60 million doughnuts or pastries yearly, and a million cups of coffee a day. I have the largest ATM network of any U.S. retailer. I'm open on Christmas. Who am I?
