Why Become a 7-Eleven Franchisee?

The Franchisee then leases or subleases the fully equipped and stocked store from 7-Eleven , Inc. Many will sell gasoline and feature pay-at-the-pump credit card readers.

|
| How the System Works: |
|
|
7-Eleven, Inc. buys or leases the land on which the 7-Eleven store sites. When the company develops the site, the investment can range from $1 million to $2 million per store, depending on land costs and whether the store will sell gasoline. 7-Eleven® also buys the store equipment and pays the utilities. The Franchisee leases or subleases a fully equipped 7-Eleven® store. |
|
|
|
The 7-Eleven Franchisee is responsible for ordering, buying and maintaining inventory; hiring and training employees, as well as payroll, cash variation, supplies, certain repairs, maintenance and other controllable in-store expenses. |
|
|
|
7-Eleven maintains an "open account" for each Franchisee. This "revolving" account is credited with each day's receipts and debited with store purchases, operating expenses and other activities, and it includes the outstanding balance of any loans that 7-Eleven has made to the Franchisee. |
 |
| What the Franchisee Receives from 7-Eleven: |
|
|
| 7-Eleven's Proprietary Store's Information System: |
|
|
| Fees and Expenses: |
|
|
The Franchisee pays a one-time initial franchise fee to 7-Eleven (averaging approximately $70,000, depending on the store's gross profit, but that may vary significantly depending upon the area). |
|
|
|
A Franchisee is required to make an initial cash payment to 7-Eleven in an amount equal to the cost of the store's initial inventory, supplies, business licenses, permits, bonds and cash register fund. 7-Eleven will finance the Franchisee's continuing operating expenses. A typical initial cash payment to 7-Eleven for a franchise is about $89,000, but again, that may vary significantly depending upon the area. |
|
|
|
A prospective Franchisee may wish to purchase an existing 7-Eleven Franchisee's interest in his or her store for which the prospective Franchisee must negotiate a price with the current Franchisee. This is called a "goodwill" sale. The "goodwill" price is paid to the existing Franchisee and would be over and above the typical initial cash payment made to 7-Eleven. |
|
 7-Eleven Franchisees are independent contractors, and 7-Eleven's relationship with them is multi-faceted. The company is not only a franchisor, but also serves as landlord, financing source, business advisor and record keeper to the Franchisee.
