Philippine Seven Corp., operator of 7-Eleven convenience stores, announced a three-year expansion program that involves the opening of 300 new stores in Luzon and the Visayas.
PSC chief executive Victor Paterno said the expansion program would involve the opening of 100 stores in Cebu and the neighboring islands and another 200 new stores in Luzon.
“These areas, in particular the metro provinces of Cebu and Ilocos, are fit and very ripe hubs for c-store growth mainly because of the locations’ rapid increase in economic activity, attractive tourism venues and being centers of education,” Paterno said.
7-Eleven recently opened 13 stores in Mandaue, Lahug, Banilad and Cebu City. It also opened 172 stores in Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija,
Pampanga, Tarlac, Zambales, La Union, Pangasinan and Baguio.
