7-Eleven parent company Seven & i Holdings has outlined a broader U.S. restructuring plan that includes closing 645 stores. The update adds detail to an earlier announcement and highlights a significant reshaping of the convenience store chain’s domestic footprint.
According to the company’s plan, 200 of the affected locations are considered unprofitable and are set to close. In addition to those shutdowns, hundreds of other stores are expected to be converted into franchise operations or wholesale fuel sites, signaling a shift in how some locations will be run going forward.
The move suggests Seven & i is focusing on improving performance and streamlining parts of its U.S. business. By exiting weaker stores and changing the operating model for others, the company appears to be targeting greater efficiency while keeping a presence in selected markets through different formats.
The latest filing gives investors and industry watchers a clearer picture of how 7-Eleven plans to adjust its store network this year. While the company is reducing the number of company-operated locations, the strategy also points to a broader effort to rebalance operations rather than simply pull back from the market.
