The global convenience giant 7-Eleven is moving forward and opening its first stores in Arizona in a quarter of a century.
7-Eleven is touting the opening of three new locations in Arizona, with two more slated to open early next year. The five new stores are the first from the chain in The Grand Canyon State in 25 years.
“Known for redefining the convenience store experience, 7-Eleven’s re-entry into Arizona brings with it the brand’s renowned range of fresh food options, proprietary beverages and innovative services tailored to local preferences,” said the company.
The Arizona expansion comes on the heels of 7-Eleven announcing plans to build 500 new stores nationally between 2025 and 2027. The new builds will incorporate learnings from the chain’s “Evolution” store format, which it debuted in March 2019 in Dallas and subsequently expanded to other locations. The stores will be larger and “food forward,” according to the presentation and feature digital innovations, frictionless shopping and fuel.
