7-Eleven is the largest petrol and convenience retailer in Australia, based on market share. Our company is privately owned by the Withers and Barlow families, who have a license to operate and franchise 7-Eleven stores in Australia from the US based 7-Eleven Inc.
We opened our first Australian store in August 1977. Today the 7-Eleven brand can be seen across more than 620 stores in Victoria, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Queensland and most recently, in Western Australia.
Customers love the 7-Eleven brand for our famous range of proprietary and exclusive products, including Slurpee, Krispy Kreme, $1 coffee and Mobil fuels. Additionally we offer a great range of convenience products and services such as a fresh Food on the Go range, Commonwealth Bank/Bankwest ATM's, Moneygram money transfer, gift cards and transport tickets, all available 24/7.
Through our 620+ store network, we conduct more than 180 million customer transactions a year, serving an average of six customers per second, all of which generates sales of approximately $3.9 billion.

That includes websites, apps, mobile, CFD's, Instore TV's, Radio, Print and LED screens. As NightOwl is ahead of the market with this technology, many food and beverage suppliers offer us exclusive deals to advertise on our screens – giving you offers to entice new customers. Your screens are controlled centrally, ensuring that you never run out of deals – and you can still add your own local area marketing whenever you like.
