Companies Closing Locations Through 2026

7-Eleven has announced plans to close roughly 444 underperforming stores, primarily in North America, as part of a larger effort to optimize its global convenience store portfolio. The closures follow a broad review of store performance amid changing consumer habits and rising operating costs.

Parent company Seven & i Holdings says the move is designed to strengthen long-term profitability and focus investment on higher-traffic locations, food innovation, and digital initiatives. Despite the closures, 7-Eleven continues expanding in select international markets and modernizing many remaining U.S. stores.
