Several sources have told “Globes” that the first 7-Eleven Israeli store will open on Tel Aviv’s Dizengoff Street.
Last year Electra Consumer Products (TASE: ECP) announced that it had signed a 20-year franchise agreement with the US-based international convenience store chain 7-Eleven to operate the brand in Israel, with an option to extend the agreement for a further 50 years. The initial launch date for the first store was reportedly to match the company’s name, in other words the 7th of November. But that date is nearly upon us and several sources have told “Globes” that the first 7-Eleven Israeli store will open on Tel Aviv’s Dizengoff Street on December 15.
