We are the convenience leader, so it just makes sense to offer a business model that makes franchising – convenient. It’s a tried-and-true, time-tested business model, which means we deliver everything you need to run your business. Plus, we’re continuously thinking up new ways to help you make franchise ownership easy and profitable. The only thing missing is your vision, good energy and solid work ethic. Bring it!
Most franchisors take royalties on sales, but 7‑Eleven has a different kind of business model. We share profits with our franchise owners, so we really are invested! We’ve also built all kinds of tools and resources to help you reduce waste and increase gross profits. When you give your best effort, we’ll match it with ours – because your store’s success is as important to us as it is to you.
Our 7‑Eleven franchise model has proven successful for Franchisees with all different kinds of backgrounds and experiences. If you’re interested in franchising with 7‑Eleven, there are three main ways to do it. Take a good look and decide which option is the best fit for you and your experience. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to give us a call!
Our traditional single-store franchise model is perfect for any entrepreneur interested in starting a career as a business owner. This approach allows Franchisees to open one store and learn the business. Who knows – one store may lead to other locations. It happens all the time!
This option is for people with strong retail and management experience who are interested in diving headfirst into business ownership. The opportunity to open multiple locations isn’t for everyone, but it can be a great way to quickly fulfill larger business ambitions.
Our business conversion program (BCP) is designed for current owners of convenience stores who like the idea of adding the power of the 7‑Eleven brand to their businesses. If you own a local convenience store and are interested in taking your business to the next level, this program is for you.
A 7‑Eleven franchise store comes fully operational so you can skip the headaches of getting started on your own. We take care of real estate, zoning, store build-out and equipment installation. You even get your very own 7‑Eleven Franchise Sales Representative and a Field Consultant to guide you through the ins and outs of franchise ownership.
From the time you fill out your franchise application, you can be up and running your very own 7‑Eleven in just three to six months. This quick start-up time also includes extensive training. And throughout the entire process, 7‑Eleven Franchise Sales Representatives are available to answer your questions, offer advice and support your journey to franchise ownership.
In addition to our consumer innovations, we’ve invested millions (and millions) into technology that makes operating a store as easy and as profitable as possible. Our proprietary logistics system is an innovation that has revolutionized the way franchise owners can manage their inventory. The system accurately shows what’s selling and what’s not so you can keep your shelves stocked with the products your neighborhood wants. And our comprehensive back-office system helps streamline operations by automating everything from payroll processing and invoice payments to taxes and store audits. Business transformation simplifies the job.
As a new 7‑Eleven Franchisee, you’ll head to Dallas, Texas, for a LAUNCH class that introduces you to the brand. Next, you’ll head back to your community for six to eight weeks of C.O.O.L. (College of Operations Leadership) in-store training. And once you’re in your own store, a 7‑Eleven Field Consultant will provide advice to you regarding the day-to-day details and challenges you face in running your business.
As a franchise owner, you get to leverage 7‑Eleven’s super buying power and offer your customers what they love at great prices, and without cutting into your profit margins. We buy big, so you can get the benefit of negotiated pricing and terms. You’re also able to get the products your community is asking for, thanks to our inventory software and a global network of vendors.
If you’ve got what it takes to franchise with 7‑Eleven, go ahead and take the first step.
