April 26, 2012

7-Eleven franchise owners are invited to share their complaints, frustrations and advice with prospective franchise owners below.

UnhappyFranchisee.com believes that no franchise system is perfect, and that it benefits everyone when new franchisees sign on with realistic expectations and advance knowledge of the challenges and frustrations they may face.

7-Eleven franchise website promises its franchisees world-class support:  “Because we want you to spend your time operating your store and growing your business, we provide you with a level of support that is not just among the best in the convenience store industry—our support goes above and beyond, setting standards for franchises across all industries.”

7-Eleven franchise website boasts that it provides support by sending a business consultant to each store twice per week:

7-Eleven named the #1 franchise in Entrepreneur magazine’s 2011 Franchise 500. (See theUnhappyFranchisee.com  discussion here: Top 100 Franchise Opportunities 2011: Behind The Hype) and has now been named the #3 franchise in Entrepreneur magazine’s 2012 Franchise 500 as well.
