It’s the first question almost everyone asks me, and it’s the right one. The honest answer is that it depends on the store, the location and the path you choose. That’s why I prefer to look at your case with you rather than give you a generic number.
What I can tell you up front
- The investment varies by store. There isn’t one price for every location.
- The model is different from many franchises. 7-Eleven shares gross profit with its franchise owners instead of charging a royalty on sales. I’ll explain what that means in practice.
- The official numbers are in the FDD. The Franchise Disclosure Document is the official source, and I’ll help you know where to look.
Why ask me
Part of my work at 7-Eleven is reviewing candidates’ finances and business experience. I have an MBA, and I run a business myself. I can help you understand the numbers clearly, without pressure, in English or Spanish.
Who usually writes to me
People who have more than US$150,000 available to invest and want to understand their options. If that’s you, let’s talk. If you’re not there yet, write anyway and tell me about your plans.
