7-Eleven's new extended forecourt with lots of food

Consumers pulling into the parking lot will notice the scale of a future-focused 7-Eleven in the US, which has about a dozen parking spaces and roughly 12 fueling positions in front of the store.

Although some new standard c-stores will include electric vehicle charging stations, this location does not. A spokesperson from 7-Eleven said in a statement to C-Store Dive that the company is customizing each location’s EV presence based on the needs of its community.

Customers will spot the 7-Eleven branding on the fuel canopy, which is a feature at these new locations, the spokesperson said. “Fuel canopies are a common feature at many of our fuel locations, including our new standard stores,” the spokesperson said. “As part of our new format, we’ve expanded fuel forecourts to create a larger, more contemporary experience.”

7-Eleven’s focus on foodservice is clearly visible when entering the store, which is about 4,800 square feet — outsizing the 2,900 of a regular 7-Eleven, the spokesperson said.
