7-Eleven’s plan to open 1,300 new stores through 2030 comes about six months after sharing that it would open 600 stores over four years, including 500 between 2025 and 2027.
The 2030 target shows that 7-Eleven intends to ramp up annual store openings, and it has already increased the number of store openings planned for the next three years from 500 to 550.
The 1,300 goal would represent about 10% of the 12,963 stores 7-Eleven had in North America in February. It’s also more stores than all but four of its c-store competitors have in their entire networks, according to the NACS top 100.
It’s unclear if this will increase 7-Eleven’s overall store count, since the company also plans to close some underperforming stores. 7-Eleven closed more locations than it opened in fiscal 2024 and expects to do the same in fiscal 2025, according to the company’s 2024 summary.
The majority of these 1,300 sites will use the new standard design, said 7-Eleven President Stan Reynolds in the call. These locations offer a larger product assortment and expanded food and beverage offerings compared to traditional 7-Eleven stores.
