7-Eleven, a well-known chain of convenience stores, is making big changes by closing hundreds of location across North America. CEO Joseph DePinto explained more about the company’s choice to close 444 stores that haven’t been doing well in a recent statement. Seven-Eleven’s parent company, Seven & i Holdings Co. Ltd., talked about this strategic move during an earnings call.
The earnings report says that 7-Eleven Inc.’s main goals are to keep the business growing and make better use of its capital, even though customer spending is tough right now.
The study talks about how consumption is becoming more unequal, which is mostly caused by lower wages. This problem is made worse by tough job market conditions, ongoing inflationary pressures, and rising interest rates, which hurt people with low and medium incomes the most.
7-Eleven’s Global Presence
About 3% of all 7-Eleven shops in North America are going to close, which is a big change for the retail world. With 13,000 stores in the US and Canada, this change will affect 50 of them, making it clear that the convenience store giant has changed its presence in a big way.
Key Factors Influencing Store Closures:
- Emphasis on enhancing capital efficiency
- Addressing the polarization of consumption trends
- Responding to decline in labor incomes and challenging employment conditions
- Mitigating inflationary pressures and high interest rates
As 7-Eleven deals with these tough economic times, the store closings are a strategic move meant to strengthen its place in the North American market.
7-Eleven has an impressive network of 84,000 stores in 19 countries and areas around the world. This wide reach shows how strong the name is in the global convenience store market.
