Beyond the filing
Everything else on this page is quoted from 7-Eleven's franchise disclosure document. This is not — it is measured off the open web, it is not verified by the franchisor, and it never affects the Factbook Score.
Research this brand properly
Every figure on this page comes from 7-Eleven's own disclosure filings, source linked. Compare it against its category before any discovery call — and read the FDD with an attorney before signing anything.

They have not cleared our 0.85 QA bar, usually because no primary regulator-hosted filing was reachable and the figures come from a secondary source. Treat them as indicative and check the linked source before relying on them. We publish the score rather than hiding it — see the methodology.
What it really costs
Every cost figure this brand's filing discloses — not just the headline range
| Expense | Low | High |
|---|---|---|
| Initial franchise fee | — | — |
| Total initial investment | $162,900 | — |
Item 7 reports a total range, not a full line-item breakdown, in this brand's filing excerpt — the franchise fee is the only cost we can show separately today.
Costs more to open than 17% of food and beverage franchises on this site with a disclosed Item 7 range (372 compared). Computed from total investment, not a figure from the filing itself.
Earnings disclosure
Does the franchisor share performance data? No
This brand's filing does not include an Item 19 financial performance representation. That's common — a large share of franchisors disclose nothing here — but it means you should ask for unit-level economics directly during discovery calls. Compare against food and beverage brands that do disclose one.

Common questions
