The 7-Eleven Franchise System
• 7-Eleven offers two types of Franchise systems:
Traditional and Business Conversion Program (BCP)
– Under the Traditional Franchise Program, 7-Eleven incurs initial and
ongoing costs of the land, building and equipment and leases a turnkey
business to the Franchisee
– The Business Conversion Program allows property owners to
maintain control of their real estate while taking advantage of the 7Eleven Business System
• The BCP Franchise program is designed to
accommodate stores with or without gas
– The program focuses on optimizing merchandise gross profit; 7-Eleven
does not share in your gas business
