There are 13,247 7-Eleven stores in the United States as of 2026, spread across just 32 states. Texas, California, and Florida hold nearly 60% of the network. Explore the full state-by-state breakdown powered by StatsPanda's Location Intelligence Tool.
How Many 7-Eleven Stores Are There in the United States?
As of early 2026, there are 13,247 7-Eleven locations operating across the United States, according to the StatsPanda Location Intelligence Tool. That figure includes both the classic 7-Eleven banner and the Speedway and Stripes brands, which 7-Eleven's parent company Seven & i Holdings folded into the same operating unit after the $21B Speedway acquisition closed in 2021.
The combined 7-Eleven + Speedway + Stripes footprint makes it the largest convenience store chain in the United States by location count, edging out Circle K and Casey's. It is also one of only a handful of U.S. retail chains with more than 13,000 brick-and-mortar locations.
7-Eleven Locations by State — Top 10
7-Eleven's footprint is famously lopsided. The chain barely operates in 18 U.S. states, and the top 5 states account for over two-thirds of every store. Per-capita saturation is highest in Hawaii, where the chain dominates the convenience category almost without competition.
| Rank | State | 7-Eleven Locations | Share of US Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Texas | 2,415 | 18.2% |
| 2 | California | 1,810 | 13.7% |
| 3 | Florida | 1,540 | 11.6% |
| 4 | Ohio | 895 | 6.8% |
| 5 | Virginia | 735 | 5.5% |
| 6 | Pennsylvania | 620 | 4.7% |
| 7 | New York | 560 | 4.2% |
| 8 | Michigan | 490 | 3.7% |
| 9 | North Carolina | 440 | 3.3% |
| 10 | Maryland | 395 | 3.0% |
Texas alone holds nearly 1 in every 5 7-Elevens in the country — more than the next two states combined. The chain's Stripes brand, dominant in Texas, is the reason.
7-Eleven vs Other Convenience Store Chains
The convenience-store landscape is more competitive than the casual shopper realizes. Circle K (owned by Couche-Tard) is the closest national rival; regional chains like Wawa, Sheetz, and QuikTrip dominate certain metros. Here's how the top of the leaderboard compares:
| Rank | Chain | US Locations | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 7-Eleven (incl. Speedway, Stripes) | 13,247 | Largest by store count |
| 2 | Circle K | 7,140 | Couche-Tard owned |
| 3 | Casey's General Store | 2,690 | Midwest-focused |
| 4 | QuikTrip | 1,070 | Privately held |
| 5 | Wawa | 1,025 | Mid-Atlantic / FL |
| 6 | Sheetz | 720 | Mid-Atlantic |
How 7-Eleven's Store Count Has Grown Since 2000
7-Eleven's U.S. footprint has more than doubled in the past 25 years, but most of that growth came in two distinct waves: a 2010s expansion driven by the conversion of independent stores under the franchise model, and the 2021 Speedway acquisition, which added ~3,800 stores overnight.
Excluding the Speedway one-time bump, organic growth has actually slowed since 2022 — partly because saturation is high in key markets, and partly because rising real-estate costs have made new urban locations harder to justify. 7-Eleven's 2026 strategy is heavier on remodels and food-service upgrades than on net new stores.
