In the Philippines, 7-Eleven was run by the Philippine Seven Corporation (PSC). Its first store, located at the corner of [[EDSA]] and Kamias Road in [[Quezon City]], opened on February 29, 1984.

On July 28, 1988, PSC transferred the Philippine area license to operate 7-Eleven stores to its affiliate, Phil-Seven Properties Corporation (“PSPC”), together with some of its store properties. In exchange thereof, PSC received 47% of PSPC stock as payment.

On May 2, 1996, the stockholders of both PSC and PSPC approved the merger of the two companies to advance PSC group's expansion. On October 30, 1996, Securities and Exchange Commission approved the merger and PSPC was then absorbed by PSC as the surviving entity. In 2000, [[Uni-President Enterprises Corporation|President Chain Store Corporation (PCSC)]] of [[Taiwan]], also a licensee of 7-Eleven, purchased the majority shares of PSC and thus formed a strategic alliance for the convenience store industry within the area.

In February 2009, 7-Eleven has signed a non-exclusive contract with Chevron Philippines to open its stores in selected Caltex gas stations nationwide.<ref name="Chevron">{{cite magazine |first=Paul John |last=Cana |url=https://www.esquiremag.ph/money/industry/7-eleven-in-the-philippines-facts-a00289-20210419 |title=5 Facts You Need to Know About 7-Eleven in the Philippines |magazine=[[Esquire (magazine)|Esquire Philippines]] |date=April 19, 2021 |access-date=July 12, 2021 |archive-date=July 12, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210712110552/https://www.esquiremag.ph/money/industry/7-eleven-in-the-philippines-facts-a00289-20210419 |url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2012, they opened their first store outside of [[Luzon]] in [[Cebu City]], which soon expanded to the other parts of Cebu as well as its neighboring provinces.<ref name="Chevron"/> It was followed with the branch openings in [[Bacolod|Bacolod City]] in 2013, [[Iloilo City]] in 2014, [[Davao City]] in 2015, and [[Cagayan de Oro]] in 2016. The number of stores eventually spread from these major cities to smaller towns and provinces near them.

In February 2020, 7-Eleven and [[GCash]], the mobile wallet of [[Alipay]] and [[Globe Telecom|Globe]], have teamed up for the introduction of a new payment option for physical purchases: scan-to-pay (STP) via a barcode feature in the GCash app. This enables the customers to generate their unique barcodes through the GCash app and allow the cashier to scan their barcodes to complete the transaction.<ref>{{cite news |first=Doris D. |last=Abadilla |url=https://business.inquirer.net/291160/gcash-7-eleven-team-up-in-cashless-race|title=GCash, 7-Eleven team up in cashless race |newspaper=[[Philippine Daily Inquirer]] |date=February 24, 2020 |access-date=July 11, 2021 |archive-date=May 21, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210521125229/https://business.inquirer.net/291160/gcash-7-eleven-team-up-in-cashless-race |url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2020, due to the effect of [[COVID-19 pandemic]] in the Philippines, the Philippine Seven Corporation (PSC) slashed the store openings to 200 from the original 400 stores planned to be open  due to financial difficulties from the growing pandemic situation.<ref>{{cite news |first=Bernie C. |last=Magkilat|url=https://mb.com.ph/2020/07/05/7-eleven-slashes-store-opening-this-year/ |title=7-Eleven slashes store opening this year |work=[[Manila Bulletin]] |date=July 5, 2020 |access-date=July 12, 2021 |archive-date=May 21, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210521125231/https://mb.com.ph/2020/07/05/7-eleven-slashes-store-opening-this-year/ |url-status=live}}</ref> On July 11, 2021, coinciding with the 94th founding anniversary of the convenience store chain, 7-Eleven Philippines opened its 3,000th store in [[Meycauayan, Bulacan]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.philstar.com/lifestyle/on-the-radar/2021/07/05/2108684/7-elevens-birthday-sale-has-over-250-items-50-off-deals-low-p7|title=7-Eleven's Birthday Sale has over 250 items at 50% off, deals for as low as P7|website=[[The Philippine Star]]|date=July 5, 2021|access-date=July 12, 2021|archive-date=July 12, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210712110550/https://www.philstar.com/lifestyle/on-the-radar/2021/07/05/2108684/7-elevens-birthday-sale-has-over-250-items-50-off-deals-low-p7|url-status=live}}</ref>
