Seven & I-owned 7-Eleven in the US will return to north-east Florida with the construction of a new store due to start later this month. Another outlet is scheduled to be built beginning in late December and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2012. More stores are planned in the area in 2012.7-Eleven Regional Development Director Florida Grant Distel said: "The company wanted to come back to the area because it was a strong market and customer base before the company’s departure. We see many development opportunities and customers that are not being served. It's a commuter city, so convenience is important to area residents."
Seven & I-owned 7-Eleven in Canada is planning to expand its network of stores and open 200 new outlets in Ontario between 2012 and 2016, National Post reports. The move will boost its store count by almost 50% in the country. The grocery retailer said Toronto is a business-friendly growth market with a diverse population. 7-Eleven Regional Development Director Ken Barnes said: "What is driving our growth plan is we believe we are incredibly under-stored in a vibrant area of Canada. There are a lot of people here and not nearly enough 7-Elevens."
