7-Eleven is closing hundreds of stores in 2026 as part of a broader North American restructuring, according to multiple reports. Inc. Magazine says the company has already shut down locations in at least seven states, indicating the closures are underway rather than starting only next year. The outlet frames the move as part of an “overhaul” of the company’s store footprint, with locations closing across multiple parts of the United States.
The New York Post also reports that 7-Eleven is set to close hundreds of locations in 2026, describing the closures as already noticeable in current operations. While the outlets differ in tone and emphasis, both accounts align on the core point that the company’s store count is shrinking and that a significant number of locations are expected to be shuttered during 2026.
Taken together, the reporting indicates an ongoing and planned reduction of 7-Eleven’s North American store presence, with closures already visible in several states.
