7-Eleven Franchise Overview

About 7-Eleven

7-Eleven is a convenience store and our iconic products are a big part of American culture. Our focus stays fixed on making life easier for customers. In a rapidly changing digital world, convenience takes on a brand-new meaning. What used to focus on bread, milk and gas now encompasses banking and delivery services, rewards programs and convenient digital apps. We're continuously inventing and rethinking ways to stay convenient in a busy, changing world.

Franchise History

7-Eleven began in an icehouse in Dallas, Texas. "Uncle Johnny" Jefferson Green began selling everyday staples on his dock to make life easier on his customers. We've got a long list of other firsts, as well: • First to sell gas • First to air a convenience store TV commercial • First to operate 24/7 • First to offer ATM services • First to sell coffee to go • First to have a self-serve soda fountain • First to sell pre-paid phone cards • First commercial drone delivery in the U.S.
