Our Values
Be Transformational
7-Eleven has a legacy of innovation, and we are continuing that tradition by learning about and backing the technologies, services, and products that will redefine the industry.
Be Quick
We experiment and analyze, and we do it quickly. Moving fast allows 7-Eleven and the entrepreneurs who work with us to explore the marketplace and define success.
Be Helpful
We are seeking the newest and best in convenience because that is what our customers expect. We love helping our partners because, in the end, it helps us better serve our customers.
Our Parent Company
We are not only your corner store, we are a global brand. 7-Eleven—the world’s largest convenience retailer—operates, franchises, or licenses more than 80,000 stores around the world, serving 65 million customers daily. In North America, 7-Eleven has 13,000 stores with the acquisition of Speedway and Stripes, serving 12 million customers daily, and we are present in 47 of the 50 most populated metro areas.
7-Eleven has pioneered innovation since 1927, resulting in a rich history of industry firsts. We introduced the industry to pre-paid phone cards and ATM services. We were the first company to operate 24/7, serve to-go coffee, and offer self-serve fountain soda, as well as the first to make a commercial drone delivery to a customer in the U.S. After 90 years, we have no intention of stopping there – we continue to be customer-obsessed and provide innovative products and experiences.
