At 7-Eleven, we take a different approach to franchising than many others. We take care of the things that are a hassle about being a small business owner, and provide you with support every step of the way.

Our franchisees are our business partners. Their success is ours too. That’s why we’d like the people we work with to be as passionate about delivering as great a customer experience as we are. After all, we’re going to be spending a lot of time together.

An initial investment of between $400,000 and $1,000,000 plus is what is required to become a 7-Eleven franchisee, so it is certainly a big decision to make.

7-Eleven’s offer is a compelling one for potential franchisees. We are confident our full service offer is strongly competitive, delivering outstanding brand strength, exclusive products, a turnkey solution and full training.

In addition, 7-Eleven offers a gross profit split with a minimum profit guarantee and 24/7 support.

So what does it take to be a successful 7-Eleven Franchisee? We’ve conducted research into what characteristics our outstanding Franchisees share and have designed our selection process around them.
