(WBAP/KLIF) — Irving, TX — Convenience store chain 7-Eleven is set to close approximately 645 under-performing locations in North America by February 2027, as part of a strategy to focus on larger stores with expanded food offerings.
The Irving-based company aims to streamline operations and adapt to changing consumer habits by pivoting towards bigger-format stores that offer fresh food, beverages, and prepared meals.
This move reflects a broader industry trend of convenience stores competing with fast-food restaurants and grocery stores by emphasizing made-to-order food and upgraded in-store experiences.
7-Eleven’s investment in new store designs with expanded kitchens and seating areas aims to position the brand as more than a traditional grab-and-go retailer, aligning with customer demand and modernizing its footprint.
