One of the largest challenges faced by U.S. veterans is finding a new career after the military. Stop a moment and think about that. One of the biggest challenges for men and women who have faced life-threatening and life-saving situations is finding a new career. 7-Eleven is making that life-changing step easier for one lucky (and very deserving) veteran with OPERATION: TAKE COMMAND and the opportunity to win a 7-Eleven franchise.
Imagine how exciting life after military service would be if you won your own 7-Eleven franchise! Joe DePinto, President and CEO of 7-Eleven, is a military veteran himself, and 7-Eleven has been voted a “Best for Vets franchise” by Military Times. In the past four years, over 200,000 new veterans and military spouses have started franchising careers. Would you want to own your own Franchise?
7-Eleven franchises are perfect for veterans and their families. The franchise is turnkey, which means that 7-Eleven provides the store, land, and equipment. It operates under a gross profit split model, so that 7-Eleven is as invested in your success as you are. As a new franchise owner, you receive extensive training and support from franchising pros. And start-up is fast, just 3-6 months, so you can jump right into your new career.
Are you a veteran? Are you ready to win your own 7-Eleven franchise? Just march up and follow these simple steps:
- Enter by filling out the form on the website.
- You can apply now through January 25, 2015.
- The top finalists will be announced in March 2015.
- The finalists will create a video explaining why they should be chosen as the winner.
- All finalists’ videos will be posted to the 7-Eleven Franchising Facebook page.
- America then gets to vote and the top 3 finalists are flown to Dallas for a final interview.
- April 13, 2015 could be your lucky day when the 7-Eleven franchise winner is announced.
If you’re a veteran, be sure to check out the opportunities that are available to you through the Operation Take Command 7-Eleven franchise giveaway. If you know a veteran, please encourage them to take the next step after the military in starting a new career by winning their very own franchise.
I’m a mom of 3, a veteran and military spouse. I’ve moved into 20+ homes all around the world. My passion is helping busy people make the space and time for what’s really important to them.
Debbie says
That is a good way to support outgoing military. Nice of them to do this./
Terry says
I feel so bad for the men who have fought for us to keep us safe. There should be something that can be done to help them find a job. This is such a great cause for those who have served us.
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
How wonderful is this? As the wife of a retired vet, I love this.
Lois Alter Mark says
Wow, what an amazing opportunity. We actually have friends who own 3 7-Elevens and love it.
Holly says
Hi Susan – I had heard something about this, thank you so much for promoting, and as an Army wife, many thanks to 7-11 for supporting our Vets! Hugs, Holly
Shauna says
What a great idea. I know when my nephew leaves the military he is so worried about what he will do. This is a great option
Heather M says
It’s sobering and makes me sad. I have friends that have to face getting work “after” and have wondered how my brother will find a good stable job if he needs to when he gets out since he went straight into the Navy after high school. This sounds like a great opportunity for someone.
susan says
It’s a wonderful opportunity for deserving veterans. Tell everyone you know, Heather. And please thank your brother for his service.

This is great! I see too many veteran’s on the streets hungry and homeless, this is a great way for them to come home to a career.
