Our Mission is to be Your Convenient Neighborhood Store.

At 7-Eleven, our purpose and mission is to make life a little easier for our guests by being where they need us, whenever they need us.

From sales associates to franchisees and managers, from fresh-sandwich makers to doughnut bakers, from daily-delivery drivers to department heads all of us associated with 7-Eleven are here to ensure that we meet our store guests needs with fast, convenient and friendly service and the products they want while on the go.

Our Vision Is to Be the Best Retailer of Convenience. Being the best at what we do means each 7-Eleven employee has a chance to brighten someones day and make life a little easier, whether it is service with a smile in the store or ensuring we have the freshest food available, day in and day out.

That means listening to our guests and changing to meet their changing needs. The products they wanted when we started were pretty simple milk, eggs and bread. Those items are still available, but they also might include a fresh salad for lunch, chicken wings for a tailgate party, an imported bottle of wine, prepaid iTunes card or a Slurpee drink in a cool, collectible cup. Whatever the need, we want to be the friendly, convenient, one-stop shop of choice.
