7-Eleven stores planning to add 40,000 jobs for summer season
World's largest convenience retailer and independent franchisee owners hire to meet demand as economy reopens.
As it heads into summer peak season, 7-Eleven and participating independent franchise owners are collectively recruiting as many as 40,000 new employees to fill positions at their more than 13,000 U.S. stores. This includes approximately 3,800 Speedway stores recently acquired from Marathon Petroleum Corporation.
A National Hiring Day event will be held at participating local stores June 3 from 10:00am to 4:00pm local time.
"Now that a growing number have received vaccines and the economy is opening back up, people are more than ready to get back to normal," said Chris Tanco, 7-Eleven Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.
7–Eleven and Speedway stores have kept their doors open through all phases of the pandemic, adding enhanced cleaning procedures and extra safety protocols such as acrylic shields at checkout, floor distance markers, hand sanitizing stations, and offering employees masks and gloves.
