据这家连锁便利店上周公布的收益申报文件显示，7-Eleven计划在2026财年在美国全境关闭645家门店。
这家便利店品牌的日本母公司Seven & i控股公司指出，这些关闭的门店“包括将转为批发燃油店”。财务文件显示，近年来7-Eleven公司一直在北美稳步开设新的批发燃油店，截至2025年12月，此类门店已超过900家。
该连锁品牌的北美运营商预测，同期将新开205家门店，但新店数量仍不及关闭门店的数量。
该公司未立即回应置评请求，未说明关闭门店的原因。近年来，7-Eleven已关闭数百家“业绩不佳”的便利店，理由是销售放缓、客流量减少以及通胀压力等多重因素。
根据该公司官网信息，目前7-Eleven在全球19个国家拥有超过8.6万家门店。总部位于得克萨斯州的7-Eleven公司作为该品牌的北美运营商，负责美国和加拿大境内超过1.3万家门店的运营。
此轮门店关闭潮正值全球消费者受高物价拖累之际。美国和以色列对伊朗发动的战争更是重创了能源市场，如今美国司机正面临汽油价格飙升的局面。
其实早在这场战争爆发前，消费者就已经在对抗持续顽固的通胀。Seven & i在4月9日的报告中特别指出，在北美地区，“尽管经济保持强劲，但2025财年个人消费也开始放缓”——“尤其是低收入家庭，通胀持续对其消费能力造成压力”。
Seven & i旗下子公司在北美以外地区的新店开设数量将超过关闭门店的数量，其中日本7-Eleven计划关闭350家门店，同时新开550家门店，这一信息来自该公司的财务申报文件。
Seven & i预计本财年营收将下降9.4%，营收总额预计接近9.45万亿日元（约合595亿美元）。
该公司一直在寻求新的增长机会，并于去年公布了一项更广泛的转型计划，旨在丰富其便利店的商品品类。Seven & i表示，该计划的目标之一是加大对新鲜食品的投入，并扩展其“7NOW”配送服务。
此次变革也是在新领导层的主导下推进的。斯蒂芬·海斯·达库斯于去年春季出任Seven & i的首席执行官。
7-Eleven plans to close 645 stores in the U.S. this year

7-Eleven plans to close 645 stores across the U.S. in fiscal year 2026, according to earnings filings from the convenience chain published last week.
Seven & i Holdings Co., the Japan-based parent of the convenience chain, noted that these closures “include the conversion to wholesale fuel stores.” Financial documents show that 7-Eleven Inc. has steadily opened new wholesale fuel stores in North America over recent years, which accounted for more than 900 locations as of December 2025.
The chain’s North American operator forecast it will open 205 stores during the same time period, although those openings will be outpaced by the closures.
The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment on why it is shuttering the stores. 7-Eleven has closed hundreds of “underperforming” convenience stores in recent years, citing pressures such as slowing sales, less foot traffic and inflationary pressures.
According to the company’s website, there are over 86,000 7-Eleven stores across 19 countries today. 7-Eleven Inc., the brand’s North American operator based in Texas, oversees more than 13,000 locations in the U.S. and Canada.
The latest wave of store closures arrives as higher prices strain consumers worldwide. The U.S. and Israel’s war against Iran has especially rattled energy markets, with drivers now facing soaring gas prices.
Consumers were facing stubborn inflation even before the war. In North America specifically, Seven & i noted in its April 9 report, “although the economy remained robust, personal consumption also began to soften” for the 2025 fiscal year — “particularly among low-income households, as inflation continued to weigh on spending.”
Openings for Seven & i subsidiaries outside of North America are set to outpace the stores they’re closing — including Seven-Eleven Japan, which expects to close 350 stores and open 550 locations, per financial filings.
Seven & i expects its revenue to fall 9.4% for the current fiscal year, totaling a projected nearly 9.45 trillion yen (about $59.5 billion).
The company has been looking for new opportunities for growth, and last year outlined a wider transformation plan aimed at boosting its convenience store offerings. Among goals, Seven & i has said it would invest in more fresh food offerings and expand its “7NOW” delivery service.
The changes also arrive under new leadership. Stephen Hayes Dacus became Seven & i’s CEO last spring.
