Daytona Beach News-Journal:
The 7-Eleven Inc. convenience store company is discounting its franchise fee for the first time in a new program for qualified retired military veterans.
Qualified veterans who become first-time 7-Eleven franchisees will receive a 10-percent discount on the initial franchise fee for the first 7-Eleven store franchised. The discount can range from $1,000 to approximately $35,000, depending on the store.
There are about 460 7-Eleven stores available for franchising in the Tampa/St. Petersburg, Orlando, Daytona Beach/Melbourne, Fort Myers/Naples and South Florida areas. 7-Eleven began franchising its previously company-owned stores in late 2007 in the Miami area and May 2008 in the other Florida markets.
