7-Eleven Franchise Disclosure Document

7-Eleven is a global convenience store chain offering a wide range of food, beverages, groceries, and fuel. It was founded in 1927 in Dallas, Texas, and later rebranded as “7-Eleven” to highlight its extended operating hours. Today, the brand operates more than 85,000 stores in over 20 countries, making it one of the most recognized convenience store names worldwide. The 7-Eleven franchise model differs from traditional models by using a gross profit-sharing system rather than fixed royalties. Franchisees manage operations and staffing, while the franchisor covers certain major expenses like rent and utilities. The model requires a significant upfront investment and a commitment to long hours, but franchisees benefit from strong brand recognition, marketing support, and access to a streamlined supply chain. The business generates high transaction volume with steady daily traffic, and success hinges on operational efficiency and customer convenience.

With nearly 40,000 FDDs collected over the past 25+ years, our growing database is maintained and enriched by a dedicated information management team that ensures accuracy, completeness, and timely updates. Just as important, FRANdata understands that while FDDs offer a wealth of standardized information, they may not address every question a stakeholder has—particularly when it comes to franchise performance, operational nuances, or long-term growth potential. That's why we complement the information in FDDs with broader research and advisory capabilities, helping clients interpret what's there, understand the context, and access deeper insights when needed.
