7-Eleven hours

Most 7-Eleven stores are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including major federal holidays.

Customer service: 1-800-255-0711.

7-Eleven is the largest US convenience store chain with about 9,000 stores nationwide (plus another ~3,800 Speedway-branded stores acquired from Marathon Petroleum in the 2021 $21 billion deal that consolidated US convenience-store ownership), owned by Japanese parent Seven & i Holdings (TYO:3382), headquartered in Irving Texas and founded in 1927 in Dallas as Tote’m Stores before the 1946 rebrand to 7-Eleven (a reference to the original 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM operating hours that the chain has long since extended).

The questions readers actually ask: are 7-Eleven stores open 24 hours, what time does my 7-Eleven open or close, are they open on Christmas, when is 7-Eleven Day (free Slurpee Day), and which Speedway stores are now 7-Eleven.

Two 7-Eleven specific things worth knowing: most 7-Eleven stores are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (the chain still maintains the 24/7 schedule that Walmart abandoned in 2020 across most stores), with limited exceptions at inside-mall, inside-college, and inside-airport locations that follow host-venue hours. 7-Eleven Day on July 11 (7/11) is the chain’s annual free Slurpee promotion (a small free Slurpee available 11am to 7pm at participating stores, sometimes extending to a week-long Slurpee promotion through 7Rewards). Mid-Atlantic cult-brand convenience competitor Wawa runs its own Wawa Day (April 13) free coffee promotion celebrating the chain’s corporate birthday.

Is 7-Eleven open on Sunday?

Most 7-Eleven stores are open 24/7 Sunday with no schedule change vs weekdays.

When is 7-Eleven Day (Free Slurpee Day)?

7-Eleven Day is July 11 (7/11) every year. Most participating 7-Eleven stores give away a free small Slurpee (typically 7.11 ounces or 12 ounces depending on year) between 11:00 AM and 7:00 PM. Recent years have extended the promotion to a week of 7Rewards Slurpee deals (BOGO Slurpees, free Slurpee with purchase, etc.) running for 7 days surrounding July 11. Check the 7-Eleven app for exact promotion details for the current year.

What about Speedway stores I see have 7-Eleven branding?

Seven & i Holdings (the Japanese parent of 7-Eleven) acquired Speedway from Marathon Petroleum in the 2021 $21 billion deal. Some former Speedway stores have been rebranded to 7-Eleven; others kept the Speedway brand under unified Seven & i ownership. The Speedway-branded stores typically operate 24/7 like 7-Elevens (Speedway has long maintained 24/7 operations) but may have different food-service offerings (Speedway's roller-grill program differs from 7-Eleven's). Both brands accept 7Rewards loyalty cards at participating stores.

Are Slurpee machines on 24/7?

Yes, Slurpee machines run 24/7 at 24/7 7-Eleven stores. Brief intervals (typically 15 to 30 minutes daily) when individual Slurpee flavors are out of service for the daily mix-and-clean cycle are common; the machines themselves do not shut down. New Slurpee flavors typically rotate monthly. The original Slurpee was introduced in 1965 and remains 7-Eleven's most distinctive private label product.

Does 7-Eleven deliver?

Yes. 7NOW is the chain's delivery service available at participating 7-Eleven stores via the 7-Eleven app or 7now.com. Most products available in the store can be delivered including Slurpees, hot food (pizza, taquitos, hot dogs), snacks, beverages, household essentials, OTC medications, and tobacco products (with ID verification). Standard 30 minute delivery time; available 24/7 at most participating 7-Eleven stores.

Is the 7-Eleven gas station open when the store is closed?

At 7-Eleven locations with attached gas stations (most franchise stores), the pumps follow the same 24/7 schedule as the store. At the small subset of non-24/7 7-Eleven stores, the pumps typically also close when the store closes (for security and pay-at-pump processing); pay-at-pump credit/debit transactions are not supported during closed-store hours at most locations. Confirm with your specific 7-Eleven.

What is 7Rewards?

7Rewards is the free loyalty program for 7-Eleven and Speedway. Earn points on every purchase (typically 10 points per dollar) plus bonus-points promotions on featured products. 1,000 points unlocks $1 off rewards or product-specific freebies (free Slurpee, free coffee, free taquito, etc.). The 7-Eleven app handles enrollment, point tracking, and offer redemption; some offers are app-only. The program is shared across 7-Eleven and Speedway stores under unified Seven & i ownership.

What is the 7-Eleven customer service phone number?

7-Eleven customer service is 1-800-255-0711, available Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM Central Time for franchise feedback, 7Rewards account questions, billing inquiries, and corporate matters.
