World-Famous Trademark; World-Class Opportunity
|
|
|
The 7-Eleven Franchise System offers a world-class opportunity to franchise and operate a neighborhood
convenience store under the auspices of a world-famous trademark.
7-Eleven's relationship with its Franchisees is multi-faceted. We are not only a franchisor; we also serve as
landlord, financing source, record keeper and consultant to the Franchisee. We take an active role in the Franchisee’s
business because our success is predicated on their success.
Exceptional Services
7-Eleven provides many services some franchisors either do not provide or, if available, require additional fees.
For example:
 |
 |
We obtain and bear the ongoing cost of the land, building and store equipment
|
|
|
We pay water, sewer, gas and electric utilities
|
|
|
We pay for any building rent and property taxes
|
|
|
We provide financing for all normal store operating expenses
|
|
|
We provide record keeping, bill paying and payroll services for store operations
|
|
|
We provide a support structure and a field consultant who meets weekly with the Franchisee to
help provide the opportunity to maximize store performance and profitability
|

Investment in Technology
Our investment in technology and ordering systems leads the industry, and our business model uses
technology to put the customer at the center of every decision. We’ve constructed innovative
processes to understand and respond to the immediate needs of our customers, and have invested
hundreds of millions in the development of a proprietary Retail Information POS scanning system
that can:
|
|
|
Enable the Franchisee to always have the products their customers want
|
|
|
Help simplify store operations
|
|
|
Facilitate staffing and delegation
|
|
Reasonable Financial Investment
With a moderate investment, you can have an opportunity to reap the benefits of the longevity, stability and
proven results of a global company:
|
|
|
Franchise Fee –The Franchisee pays a one-time Franchise Fee. The amount of this fee is based
on the individual store’s gross profit, which may vary significantly depending on the area.
|
|
|
|
Gasoline Fee – If the store is a gasoline location, the Franchisee pays a one-time Gasoline
Fee in addition to the Franchise Fee. The amount of this one-time fee is based on the store’s
annual total gallons sold for the prior year.
|
|
|
|
Initial Cash Payment – The Franchisee makes a one-time cash payment in an amount equal to the
cost of the store's initial inventory, supplies, business licenses, permits, bonds and cash register
fund. As with the Franchise Fee, the amount of this cash payment may vary significantly depending
on the area.
|
|
|
|
“Goodwill” Sales – A prospective Franchisee may wish to purchase a current Franchisee's interest
in his or her business for which the prospective Franchisee must negotiate a price with the current
Franchisee. This is called a “premium” or "goodwill" sale, although no Trademark goodwill is included.
The goodwill price is paid to the current Franchisee and is over and above the Franchise Fee and
initial cash payment made to 7-Eleven.
|
|
Gross Profit Sharing Arrangement
Once you become a Franchisee, your royalty is a portion of the store’s gross profits. In other words, we
have a mutually vested interest in your store’s profitability, not just its sales.
|
Other Advantages
There are many other “no additional cost” advantages to joining the 7-Eleven Franchise System.
Here are just a few:
|
|
|
Training – Prior to taking over the operation of the store, we provide comprehensive training to
the Franchisee. We also provide ongoing training opportunities, including in-store computer-based
training programs to help the Franchisee train their employees on virtually every aspect of the
business.
|
|
|
|
Indemnification – We provide individual contractual indemnification to Franchisees to help
protect them from many of the risks against which most small business persons must insure.
|
|
|
|
Franchisee “Voice” – Through our Presidents Leadership Council, Franchisee
leaders and 7-Eleven management work together to constantly improve our system.
