7-Eleven announces closure of 645 stores in the U.S. within next year
7-Eleven’s parent company, Seven & i Holdings, announced that it will close 645 7-Eleven stores across North America by the end of fiscal year 2026.
7-Eleven, home of the famous Slurpee, has expanded into catering.
From breakfast taco boxes to 14-inch pizzas, the Irving, Texas-based convenience store chain has partnered with EZ Cater to “transform everyday convenience into the perfect solution for group meals.”
“It’s now easier than ever to bring made-to-order food to meetings, office lunches, events and more,” 7-Eleven said in a statement.
Catering from Speedy Café, a 7-Eleven owned brand, and Laredo Taco Company are now available for ordering through their online platform.
“These offers will enable 7-Eleven to better respond to pre-planned occasions and complement the brand’s strength in on-demand delivery through 7NOW,” the chain said in a statement. “Catering opens the door to large group orders and new use cases, giving customers a reason to return to 7-Eleven for both everyday needs and group gatherings.”
Here’s what we know about 7-Eleven’s latest venture, including what’s on the menu.
What’s on the menu?
Catering offerings vary depending on the 7-Eleven restaurant you plan to order from.
Speedy Café’s catering includes salads, breakfast sandwiches, pizza, lunch boxes, and more. Meanwhile, Laredo Taco Company offers “bold, made-from-scratch Tex-Mex options” including breakfast tacos, chips, queso, and taco bars.
All ‘made to order’ meals are prepared daily in our on-site kitchen.
According to 7-Eleven, “Whether it’s a morning meeting or a team lunch, our menu offers familiar favorites in a format that goes beyond individual orders.”
