7-Eleven continues West expansion with new stores

The company’s investment in WA is expected to hit 50 million by 2022.

7-Eleven continues its expansion in the West with the opening of four new stores, including its first regional store at Busselton.

An additional store at Brabham is expected to open before Christmas, the chain added.

The five million investment brings the company’s total commitment to WA to more than $47 million since opening their first store in October 2014.

7-Eleven area lead for WA Nick Maddox said the company is going to continue to grow by investing approximately six million in new stores in 2022.

“We expect to open about seven stores in Western Australia in 2022. We are incredibly excited to open our first regional store at Busselton and will continue to grow our regional network adding a new store at Treendale in early 2022,” he said.

“Approximately 45 additional West Australians have joined our team in 2021, and we hope to have about 100 new roles available as our network continues to grow in 2022. The pace of our growth means there’s potential for people who want a career in retail and to accelerate their progression,” he said.

The company remains on the lookout for locations to bring its offer to new communities in metropolitan and regional Western Australia.

“We are interested in sites in both established suburbs and growth corridors positioned within reach of our customers along busy commuter routes, immersed within residential precincts along connecting roads, local shopping, and community centres,” Maddox said.

“Our preferred sites provide convenient access for passing traffic and suitable room for vehicle movement and easy customer parking. We’re continuing to work with landlords and developers in Western Australia to secure locations to serve our local communities.”
