7‑Eleven executive vice-president and chief operating officer Chris Tanco said: “Now that a growing number [of people] have received vaccines and the economy is opening back up, people are more than ready to get back to normal.

“That includes finding steady jobs with future opportunities, and 7‑Eleven, Speedway and 7‑Eleven independent franchise owners offer just that.

“The iconic 7‑Eleven brand is a great place to learn and grow, and might just be a match made in (Oh Thank) Heaven.”

At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, 7‑Eleven and its participating franchisees released hiring notifications for 40,000 new employees to serve stores that had been classified as ‘essential retailers’.

The company has estimated that it recruited more than 50,000 employees across the organisation and independent franchise owners during the peak of the pandemic.

Earlier this month, 7-Eleven acquired convenience store chain Speedway from US-based petrol company Marathon Petroleum Corporation. The acquisition was first announced last August.
