Philippine Seven Corp, the exclusive operator of 7-Eleven in the Philippines, plans to invest PHP 5 billion (USD 85.32 million) to open over 400 new stores in 2025, according to its Taiwanese parent company, President Chain Store Corp.
The expansion aims to grow the total store count beyond 4,130, strengthening its presence in Mindanao and Visayas, while also entering untapped areas in Luzon. Since returning to profitability in 2022 after pandemic-related losses, 7-Eleven Philippines has been adding over 350 stores annually.
The company, which marked its 40th anniversary last year by opening its 4,000th store in Pasay, sees strong growth potential in the Philippine retail market, citing a population of over 100 million and limited competition. Unlike Taiwan, where 7-Eleven offers extensive services, the Philippine operations remain focused on retail sales.
