Convenience chain 7-Eleven expects to close hundreds of its locations this year.

便利店连锁企业7-Eleven预计今年将关闭其数百家门店。



According to earnings filings published last week, 7-Eleven's North American operator plans to close 645 stores in the 2026 fiscal year — outpacing the 205 locations it forecasts it will open during that same time.

根据上周发布的收益文件，7-Eleven的北美运营商计划在2026财年关闭645家门店——这一数字超过了它预测在同一时间内将开设的205家门店。

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.

Seven & i控股公司，这家便利店连锁企业的总部位于日本的母公司，指出这些关闭“包括向批发燃油商店的转换”。 财务文件显示，7-Eleven公司近年来在北美稳步开设了新的批发燃油商店，截至2025年12月，这类门店数量已超过900家。

The company did not immediately explain the closures or specify which locations could be impacted. The Associated Press reached out for further information.

该公司并未立即解释这些关闭行为，也未具体说明哪些门店可能受到影响。 美联社已联系该公司以获取进一步信息。

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.

根据该公司网站的数据，目前在全球19个国家有超过86,000家7-Eleven门店。 7-Eleven公司，该品牌总部位于德克萨斯州的北美运营商，负责管理美国和加拿大的超过13,000家门店。

The convenience giant has closed hundreds of underperforming locations over the years, and the latest cuts arrive 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.

这家便利店巨头多年来已关闭了数百家业绩不佳的门店，而最新的这次缩减门店之际，更高的价格正给全球消费者带来压力。 美国 以色列对伊朗的战争尤其动摇了能源市场，司机们现在面临飙升的汽油价格。

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."

甚至在战争爆发前，消费者就面临着顽固的通货膨胀。 具体到北美地区，Seven & i在其4月9日的报告中指出，对于2025财年，“尽管经济依然强劲，但个人消费也开始疲软”——“尤其是在低收入家庭中，因为通货膨胀持续抑制着支出。”

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).

Seven & i在北美以外的子公司，其新开门店数量预计将超过它们关闭的门店数量——其中包括Seven-Eleven日本公司，根据财务文件，该公司预计关闭350家门店并开设550家门店。 Seven & i预计其本财年的收入将下降9.4%，预计总收入约为9.45万亿日元（约合595亿美元）。

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.

该公司一直在寻找新的增长机会，并在去年概述了一项更广泛的转型计划，旨在提升其便利店业务。 在其目标中，Seven & i表示将投资于更多新鲜食品供应，并扩大其“7NOW”配送服务。

The changes also arrive under new leadership. Stephen Hayes Dacus became Seven & i's CEO last spring.

这些变革也是在新的领导层领导下进行的。 斯蒂芬·海耶斯·达库斯去年春天成为了Seven & i的首席执行官。
