The first 7-Eleven store to open in Canada was in [[Calgary]], [[Alberta]], on June 29, 1969. There are 562 7-Eleven stores in Canada {{as of|2022|12|lc=y}}.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://stores.7-eleven.ca/ca |title=All Locations in Canada |website=stores.7-eleven.ca |date=December 10, 2022 |access-date=December 10, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221210141853/https://stores.7-eleven.ca/ca |archive-date=December 10, 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref> [[Winnipeg]], [[Manitoba]], has the world's largest number of [[Slurpee]] consumers, with an estimated 1,500,000 Slurpees sold since the first 7-Eleven opened on March 21, 1970.<ref>{{cite web |title=Convenient Facts – 7-Eleven Corporate |website=corp.7-eleven.com |url=http://corp.7-eleven.com/corp/about#convenient_facts |access-date=January 27, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161109131947/http://corp.7-eleven.com/corp/about#convenient_facts |archive-date=November 9, 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref> All 7-Eleven locations in Canada are corporate operated.<ref>{{cite web |title=7-Eleven – A Strong Brand |website=franchise.7-eleven.com |url=http://franchise.7-eleven.com/index.php/a-strong-brand |access-date=August 8, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101114231706/http://www.franchise.7-eleven.com/index.php/a-strong-brand |archive-date=November 14, 2010 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Like its U.S. counterparts every July 11 the stores offer free [[Slurpee]]s on "7-Eleven Day".

A limited number of 7-Eleven locations feature [[filling station|gas station]]s from [[Shell Canada]], [[Petro-Canada]], or [[Esso]]. In November 2005, 7-Eleven started offering the Speak Out Wireless cellphone service in Canada. 7-Eleven locations also featured [[Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce|CIBC]] [[Automated teller machine|ATM]]s{{emdash}}in June 2012, these machines were replaced with ATMs operated by [[Scotiabank]]. 7-Eleven abandoned the [[Ottawa]], [[Ontario]], market in December 2009 after selling its six outlets to [[Quickie Convenience Stores]], a regional chain. Following concerns over the fate of [[7-Eleven Speak Out Wireless]] customers, Quickie offered the option for SpeakOut customers to port into the Good2Go mobile provider.<ref>{{Cite web |title=International News: 7-Eleven Exits Ottawa with Sale to Quickie C-stores |website=csnews.com |date=October 30, 2009 |url=https://csnews.com/international-news-7-eleven-exits-ottawa-sale-quickie-c-stores |access-date=April 9, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180410072138/https://csnews.com/international-news-7-eleven-exits-ottawa-sale-quickie-c-stores |archive-date=April 10, 2018 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Attention...

In March 2016, 7-Eleven acquired 148 [[Imperial Oil]]-owned Esso gas stations in Alberta and British Columbia for C$2.8&nbsp;billion. Most of their convenience stores were converted to 7-Eleven stores, and they remain supplied by Esso. Some locations were not converted to 7-Eleven; these locations operate under the transitional banner "smartstop 24/7" with their existing store formats, typically inherited from [[On the Run (convenience store)|On the Run]].<ref>{{Cite magazine |title=Exciting the Market |magazine=Octane |issue=March/April 2019 |page=12 |url=https://issuu.com/ensembleiq/docs/csnc_mar_19_fa3f064e4361b4/12 |access-date=July 25, 2019 |via=[[Issuu]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200915165334/https://issuu.com/ensembleiq/docs/csnc_mar_19_fa3f064e4361b4/12 |archive-date=September 15, 2020 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=Esso stations to sprout 7-Eleven stores thanks to $2.8-billion gas bar megadeal |work=[[Calgary Herald]] |date=March 9, 2016 |url=https://calgaryherald.com/business/energy/esso-stations-to-sprout-7-eleven-stores-thanks-to-2-8-billion-gas-bar-megadeal |url-access=subscription |access-date=August 6, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190404182709/https://calgaryherald.com/business/energy/esso-stations-to-sprout-7-eleven-stores-thanks-to-2-8-billion-gas-bar-megadeal |archive-date=April 4, 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref>

====Mexico====
[[File:7-Eleven Cancun.jpg|thumb|A 7-Eleven store in [[Cancún, Quintana Roo]], Mexico]]
In Mexico, the first 7-Eleven store opened in 1976 in [[Monterrey]] in association with Grupo Chapa (now Iconn) and 7-Eleven, Inc. under the name Super 7. In 1995, Super 7 was renamed to 7-Eleven, which now has 1,835 stores in several areas of the country, making it the second-largest convenience store chain in the country, between [[Oxxo]] and [[Circle K]]. When stores are located within classically designed buildings (such as in [[Historic center of Mexico City|Centro Histórico]] buildings) or important landmarks, the storefront logo is displayed in monochrome with gold or silver lettering.

On March 2, 2020, 7-Eleven, Inc. announced it had officially closed on the acquisition of over 100 of these independently operated 7-Eleven stores in Oklahoma. All of these 100 stores were in the greater Oklahoma City metropolitan area. This acquisition increased the total number of 7-Eleven stores in the US and Canada to nearly 9800. Following the purchase, the Oklahoma 7-Elevens were fully integrated into national branding, marketing, and loyalty campaigns.<ref>{{cite web|date=March 2, 2020|title=7-Eleven, Inc.

In April 2021, 7-Eleven launched the "Take it to Eleven" ad campaign. The slogan was partially inspired by the chain's name, but also the term "[[up to eleven]]" made popular in the film ''[[This is Spinal Tap]]''. The slogan was only for the main 7-Eleven brand and not A-Plus or Stripes.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.convenience.org/Media/Daily/2021/Apr/28/1-7-11-Launches-Take-it-to-11-Campaign_Marketing |title=7-Eleven Launches 'Take it to Eleven!'

By summer 2021, the company had installed just a few [[electric vehicle charging stations]], but announced plans to expand considerably, with a target of 250 DC fast-charging locations in the U.S. and Canada by the end of 2022, starting with four states (California, Colorado, Florida and Texas).<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Edwards |first1=Alex |last2=Seeley |first2=David |date=2021-06-01 |title=Charging Forward: Irving-based 7-Eleven Will Build 500 Fast-Charging EV Ports by End of 2022 |url=https://dallasinnovates.com/charging-forward-irving-based-7-eleven-will-build-500-fast-charging-ports-by-end-of-2022/ |access-date=2023-03-18 |website=Dallas Innovates |archive-date=March 18, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230318084829/https://dallasinnovates.com/charging-forward-irving-based-7-eleven-will-build-500-fast-charging-ports-by-end-of-2022/ |url-status=live}}</ref> Less than two years later, in mid-March 2023, 7-Eleven announced plans for 7Charge, "its new, proprietary EV charging network and app",<ref>{{Cite web |last=Johnson |first=Peter |date=2023-03-16 |title=7Charge is the 7-Eleven of the future: Ambitious EV fast-charging network and new app |url=https://electrek.co/2023/03/16/7-eleven-reveals-7charge-ev-fast-charging-network-and-app/ |access-date=2023-03-18 |website=Electrek |archive-date=March 18, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230318083321/https://electrek.co/2023/03/16/7-eleven-reveals-7charge-ev-fast-charging-network-and-app/ |url-status=live}}</ref> promoting the Android and iOS mobile apps, which allow users to find 7-Eleven - and future Speedway and Stripes - charger locations and pay for charging.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Seeley |first=David |date=2023-03-16 |title=Irving-Based 7-Eleven Launches 7Charge EV Fast-Charging Network, App |url=https://dallasinnovates.com/irving-based-7-eleven-launches-7charge-ev-fast-charging-network-app/ |access-date=2023-03-18 |website=Dallas Innovates |archive-date=March 18, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230318083322/https://dallasinnovates.com/irving-based-7-eleven-launches-7charge-ev-fast-charging-network-app/ |url-status=live}}</ref> 7Charge locations offer [[Combined Charging System|CCS]] and [[CHAdeMO]] charging;<ref>{{Cite web |last=Wituschek |first=Joe |date=2023-03-17 |title=7-Eleven is rolling out an EV fast-charging network in North America |url=https://bgr.com/tech/7-eleven-is-rolling-out-an-ev-fast-charging-network-in-north-america/ |access-date=2023-03-18 |website=BGR |archive-date=March 18, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230318083321/https://bgr.com/tech/7-eleven-is-rolling-out-an-ev-fast-charging-network-in-north-america/ |url-status=live}}</ref> Tesla drivers, and other vehicles using the (once-proprietary) [[North American Charging System|NACS connector]], can also charge, but require a user-supplied CCS adapter.<ref>{{Cite web |title=7-Eleven wants its EV charging network to be among the largest |url=https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1139070_7-eleven-wants-its-ev-charging-network-to-be-among-the-largest |access-date=2023-03-18 |website=Green Car Reports |date=March 17, 2023 |archive-date=March 18, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230318083321/https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1139070_7-eleven-wants-its-ev-charging-network-to-be-among-the-largest |url-status=live}}</ref>

In early 2024, parent company Seven & i Holdings' CEO Ryuichi Isaka announced changes to the business model of US stores, placing the company's focus on fresh foods instead of a "[reliance] on gasoline and cigarettes".

=====Fuel=====
In the U.S., many 7-Eleven locations used to have filling stations with gasoline distributed by [[Citgo]], which in 1983 was purchased by Southland Corporation. 50% of Citgo was sold in 1986 to [[Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A.]], and the remaining 50% was acquired in 1990. Although Citgo was the predominant partner of 7-Eleven, other oil companies are also co-branded with 7-Eleven, including [[Petrofina|Fina]], [[Exxon]], [[Mobil]], [[Gulf Oil LP|Gulf]], [[Marathon Petroleum|Marathon]], [[BP]], [[Amoco]], [[Phillips 66]], [[Conoco]], [[76 (gas station)|76]], [[Shell Oil Company|Shell]], [[Chevron Corporation|Chevron]] (some former TETCO convenience stores were co-branded with Chevron, and [[Texaco]] prior to the 7-Eleven purchase in late 2012), [[Sunoco]], and [[HF Sinclair|Sinclair]]. Conoco is the largest 7-Eleven licensee in North America.<ref>{{cite book|title= Energy Industry Almanac 2007: Energy Industry Market Research, Statistics, Trends & Leading Companies|date=2006|publisher=Plunket Research, Ltd.}}</ref> The [[Pittsburgh]] market alone—where 7-Eleven is the market leader by store count but third behind [[Sheetz]] and [[GetGo]] in revenue—7-Eleven currently offers fuel from Exxon, Gulf, Marathon (both legacy 7-Eleven locations and

In more recent{{When|date=September 2022}} years, some 7-Eleven locations sell 7-Eleven branded fuel without a [[Big Oil]] brand, much like 7-Eleven's primary rival [[Circle K]] has done in recent{{When|date=September 2022}} years.{{Citation needed|date=September 2022}}

7-Eleven signed an agreement with Exxon-Mobil in December 2010 for the acquisition of 183 sites in Florida. This was followed by the acquisition of 51 ExxonMobil sites in [[North Texas]] in August 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cstoredecisions.com/2010/12/09/7-eleven-buys-183-exxonmobil-locations-in-florida/|title=7-Eleven Buys 183 ExxonMobil Locations in Florida|work=Convenience Store Decisions|publisher=Harbor Communications|access-date=June 7, 2016|date=December 9, 2010|archive-date=July 1, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160701233433/http://www.cstoredecisions.com/2010/12/09/7-eleven-buys-183-exxonmobil-locations-in-florida/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=7-Eleven® Signs Agreement with ExxonMobil To Acquire 51 North Texas Locations Retailer Continues Accelerated Store Growth |url=http://corp.7-eleven.com/Newsroom/2011NewsReleases/7ElevenSignsAgreementwithExxonMobil/tabid/493/Default.aspx |work=7-Eleven News Room |publisher=7-Eleven, Inc |access-date=November 10, 2013 |date=August 16, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131110090644/http://corp.7-eleven.com/Newsroom/2011NewsReleases/7ElevenSignsAgreementwithExxonMobil/tabid/493/Default.aspx |archive-date=November 10, 2013}}</ref>

Regardless of fuel brand, 7-Eleven has its own fleet network, 7 Fleet, for business customers and [[truck driver]]s at locations large enough to feature dedicated fueling lanes for semi trucks, though 7 Fleet can also be used at standard 7-Eleven locations as well. It is mostly designed to compete with [[Pilot Flying J]]'s One9 Network designed for [[owner-operator]] drivers, as well as drivers that go to standard Pilot Flying J, [[Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores]], and [[TravelCenters of America]] locations.
