A major group of 7-Eleven franchisees says a national labor shortage is threatening their ability to operate stores 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The National Coalition of Associations of 7-Eleven Franchisees (NCASEF), which represents about 7,200 US locations, sent a letter to corporate leaders Monday saying the shortage of workers and higher operating costs have led to a “very dire” situation.
Staying open for longer hours, as the company has instructed owners to do by May 24, isn’t feasible, they said. 7-Eleven did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
