7-Eleven opens new store in ACT
The store is owned by a second generation franchisee.
Less than two weeks after opening a store in NSW, 7-Eleven has opened another store in ACT.
Located at 86 Parramatta Street, Phillip, the new store is being run by second generation franchisee Tehmeena Khan and her husband. Their son will work in the store, alongside five locals who are joining the team.
“We had more than 200 applications to work with us in just 24 hours with many people in the local community looking for new jobs or extra hours due to the COVID-19 situation. There were some fantastic applications, but the five people who are joining the team were exceptional candidates,” Khan said in a media release.
Khan helped in her father’s store at Jesmond, Newcastle 30 years ago. Most recently, she worked with her brother Nouman’s store in Bankstown.
“I’ve worked in the 7-Eleven system before, both with my father when I was young and more recently in my brother’s store. I’ve run a café, and another franchise business but I was really drawn to 7-Eleven, and I’m excited about the challenge of establishing a brand new store in the local community,” she added.
