AS it continues to expand its network operations across the country, world-leading C-store chain giant 7-Eleven makes another successful milestone in its brand-building campaign, this time with the landmark opening of its first store in Surigao del Sur in Mindanao.
The new outlet is along Quintos Street, Bungtod, Tandag City, located at the Tandag City Plaza, which is one of the most visited places in the city. Located beside the park and near the old Cathedral Church, the plaza became more suitable for business ventures, commercial and tourism activities after its renovation last year.
Situated in a customer-centric area, the target market of the Tandag City Plaza store is comprised of residential, transit, school, visitors and commuters passing through Tandag, and commercial since it is also near mining companies, municipal government, dormitories and apartments.
In addition to bringing innovative products and convenient retail services in Surigao del Sur, the milestone entry of 7-Eleven is seen to fast-track future development in the area by providing income-generating opportunities for locals through job creation.
Despite its small population, Gil Abad, Mindanao Regional Business unit head, said that Tandag remains a relevant and strategic gateway for 7-Eleven as it also offers great investment opportunities for medium-sized commercial complexes, hotels, resorts and amusement parks, food establishments, food processing, fish canning and deboning, clothing and fashion accessories, and demonstration farms.
“We are expecting a good return on sales due to increasing rate of tourism and commercialization, as well as the fast development of the province, especially Tandag City, which paved the way for the expansion of 7-Eleven in the Eastern area,” Abad added.
For the year 2019, Abad revealed that Philippine Seven Corp. (PSC), the exclusive local licencor of 7-Eleven, is still planning and looking into opening 65 stores for the whole Mindanao Island.
Currently, 7-Eleven has a total of 2,508 stores nationwide, 1,351 of which are franchise-owned and 1,157 are corporate-owned outlets. For franchising inquiries, call (02) 726-9968, 0920-9508651, 0917-8711686, e-mail franchising@7-eleven.com.ph or visit www.7-eleven.com.ph.
