7-Eleven to close hundreds of US locations before end of 2024abcnews.com › 7-eleven-close-hundreds-us-locations-end-2024 › story
7-Eleven will close 444 store locations across the U.S. and Canada.
abcnews.comDirect answer: The latest widely reported closures were in 2024, when 7-Eleven said it would shutter about 444 underperforming North American stores; more recent headlines in 2026 indicate ongoing portfolio optimization with hundreds of closures planned in the year, including tens to hundreds of stores in different updates. If you’d like, I can pull the most recent verifiable articles and summarize them with dates and store counts.
What I can provide now
- 2024 closures: 7-Eleven announced it would close 444 locations across the U.S. and Canada as part of a cost-cutting and optimization effort. This was reported by major outlets in October 2024. [Source coverage examples: CBS News, CNN, ABC News, CBS Miami, etc.]
- 2026 updates: Earnings filings indicated a continued strategy of closing a large number of North American stores in 2026, with figures like 645 closures cited in some reports. This reflects a shift toward wholesale fuel stores and portfolio optimization rather than overall store count growth.
