7-Eleven Inc. is planning to convert its company-operated stores in the region to franchises as part of a national strategy to become a fully franchised business.
The Dallas-based convenience-store chain has 951 stores in D.C., Maryland and Virginia, and 413 of them are currently franchises, according to 7-Eleven officials. Over the next five years, 7-Eleven expects to convert the remaining 538 company-operated stores to franchises.
So far this year, 12 company-operated stores in the Washington area have been turned into franchises, and 7-Eleven officials plan to convert about 100 more by year’s end.
