This franchise has been around for more than 75 years and is very popular. In 2003 7- eleven stores generated sales of over $36 Billion.

Are these stores open 24 hours a day? Do you have a choice of your opening hours?

7-11 is well known to be operating 24/7 . Well, some 7-11 in Singapore near hospitals and train stations operates in shorter hours. I'm not sure if you can choose opening hours.

I never knew there are 7-11 stores which are not open for 24 hours. Now that's something new.

Yeah theres quite a few here in Australia that arent open 24 hours. Im not sure about the US though.

I guess more flexible hours would make it more popular.

Seven eleven stores are popular and people would still buy from them despite the higher price compared to supermarkets because of their 24/7 operation. For seven eleven stores that do not operate 24/7, do they charge higher than supermarkets or they charge just the same?

I would think that all the stores have to stick to the same pricing methods. Its still more convenient than finding a park at a bigger supermarket and dodging all the people.

A lot of people patronize seven eleven despite having higher prices due to the fact that it is available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Also, a lot of seven eleven outlets are available just outside their subdivision. No need to get dressed and go to the supermarket.

I am seriously considering a 7-Eleven franchise. Their stores are everywhere. During the past years that I have been flying in and out of Hong Kong, 7-Eleven is growing. It is one of the fastest growing chains on the market. It is also open 24 hours.

In the Philippines, all 7-Eleven outlets operate on 24 hours, 7 days a week schedule. This is one of the popular stores in our country and it is gaining competition from local counterparts fast. It can be found at the main roads and busy street corners.

People would go for these stores even though they charge a higher rate than supermarkets because of convenience. I think 7-eleven will still be a successful franchise because it can’t be helped to have emergency needs in the middle of the night.
