For some 7-Eleven fans across the country, getting their hands on a Slurpee may be a little difficult.
Seven & i Holdings, the parent company of 7-Eleven, announced in its latest financial report that it will close 645 7-Eleven stores across North America by the end of fiscal year 2026. The fiscal year runs from March 1, 2027 to February 28, 2027, and will mark the fifth consecutive year that the company’s store footprint will shrink.
“While the economy remains strong in North America, consumer spending has also begun to soften, particularly among low-income households, as inflation continues to weigh on spending,” the company said in a report.
There are currently more than 13,000 7-Eleven convenience stores in the United States and Canada.
7-Eleven did not respond to USA TODAY’s request for comment on April 14.

Where will 7-Eleven close?
Although there are a large number of store closures, the company has not disclosed the exact locations where they are scheduled to close.
Apart from the 645 store closures, the company expects to open 205 stores in North America during fiscal 2026, according to 7-Eleven’s earnings report.
The company said these store openings are part of 7-Eleven’s future growth by strengthening its stores, expanding its assortment and moving to a “food-focused convenience store” model with freshly made products.
