Shikoku

"Despite having the most number of 7-Eleven stores in the world, not all 47 prefectures of Japan have a 7-Eleven presence; the island of Shikoku for example has no 7-Eleven stores at all, instead its competitors Lawson, FamilyMart and independent competitors fill the gap." This is now incorrect. There are dozens of 7-Elevens on Shikoku as of 2013. I don't know the correct way to edit this information, so please feel free to correct this for me.

Number of Outlets vs. Number of Employees

I find it strange that the introduction specifies the number of outlets worldwide (50,000 as of now), where as the statistics bar specifies the number of employees in North America only (45,000 as of now). At a glace, it's an obvious contradiction (less than one person per store!), until noting that part about only the NA employees. Can someone get the worldwide employees?

Headquarters

The infobox says Dallas, Texas, US but the lead says "7-Eleven Japan runs all 7-Eleven franchises worldwide and is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan". If 7-11 Japan owns and runs all franchises worldwide, doesn't that make Tokyo, Japan the headquarters over 7-11 America's Dallas, Texas?207.237.208.153 (talk) 04:08, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This struck me too, so I just changed the headquarters in the infobox to Tokyo. Citobun (talk) 18:18, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fast food chain?

Is 7-Eleven even considered a fast food chain? Based on article and the sources it provides, it's a convenience store chain and gas station at best. User:142.197.84.109 keeps adding adding Category:Fast food chains to the article without providing any reliable source as well as lacking any article support and third party source exemplifying that 7-Eleven is a fast food chain. Backendgaming (talk) 03:41, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And also on that line, the opening paragraph states that 7-11 is the largest chain of "conveniece stores" and then procedes to state that McDonal's was the previous largest. While indeed, MIcky's might well have been the largest chain of fast food restaurants, or largest of something, it is not a chain of convenience stores. This should be re-worded in some way, but since I am not sure what the actual comparison here is meant to be, I'll leave it for someone else. Wschart (talk) 12:11, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

India's Tata acquired 7-Eleven?

7-11 Brand Sold to Indian Conglomerate Tata Group. How accurate is this? Komitsuki (talk) 07:41, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oklahoma Product Discrepancy and Pop Culture.

I read in the main article that OKC stores are independently owned and thus carry a differing variety of products from the main company. The "Icy Drink" I can verify at my local stores(Norman, OK) however unlike the article states, they do in fact now sell Hot Dogs, Tornadoes, and Nachos. 7-11 stores in OKC metro all use Coremark as it's vendor to receive stock and as such carry the same brand Nachos/Hot Dogs/Tornadoes as Circle K stores(I worked in a Circle K for 2 years). I don't know how recent this addition is to carrying these items in 7-11 now.

As for the Pop Culture there is a band called Mindless Self Indulgence that has a song called "Seven-Eleven" that I'm pretty sure is directly referencing 7-11 stores based upon the lyrics.

Edit by User:Thomasgoold1 on 21 January 2015

User:Thomasgoold1 made an edit which removed -27,365 bytes of content on 21 January 2015. This may have been a good faith edit, but it generally worsened the quality of the writing, blanked a lot of content seemingly arbitrarily, and made bizarre stylistic changes (in contradiction of the Wikipedia:Manual of Style) such as adding "CE" after every year. It should have been reverted immediately. Unfortunately, due to intervening edits, I can't revert it. Citobun (talk) 02:51, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

sigh. If you want to use the "restore this version" function, I won't fuss about my edits getting zapped. — Ched :  ?  13:05, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW - I'm not able to do it from my administrative end, although someone else may have that knowledge. I've never worked on any "history merge" issues, so I don't know if it's possible (or worth it). — Ched :  ?  13:11, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
New user. I left them a note as well. Thanks for catching this Citobun — Ched :  ?  13:16, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

History section seems factually incorrect

The section of History of the company indicates financial difficulty during the Great Depression but states the year as 1977 so that's obviously incorrect, as the Great Depression was in the 1930s. So perhaps somebody with a reference could clear up this mistake? Is it supposed to say a different date, or is it supposed to mention a different economic "depression"? Thanks, just wondering if it could be corrected. ~Teledildonix314~Talk~411~ 19:50, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Monitor Australia, fast evolving issue.

A number of investigations have discovered fraud within the 7-eleven network in Australia. E.g. only half of the hours worked were documented, so that it appeared the workers were paid the correct wage when they were not. CCTV footage did not tally with the rosters. The former head of the Australian Consumer Commission, Allan Fels, came out with the statement that the business model does not allow the franchisees to make a living unless they engaged in what now appears to be a fraudulent system, where workers were even blackmailed not to go to the unions or authorities.

This is an evolving issue - search the news sites how it develops. 58.174.193.2 (talk) 01:10, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
