7-Eleven Canada looks to franchising, restaurant model and egg sandwiches for growth
- On Feb. 19, 2026, the Canadian Press report first published that 7-Eleven Canada will start franchising later this year, Vice-president and general manager Marc Goodman said.
- Company officials cite pressure from large grocers, dine-in and fast-food restaurants, but 7-Eleven Canada says big competition will not stop it growing and evolving its business model.
- On March 4, 2026 the chain plans to sell the viral tamago sando, a Japanese egg-salad sandwich, in Canada.
- Right now the company operates 550 corporately owned stores between Ontario and B.C., and franchising aims to grow its presence in Ontario and into the Maritimes.
- Foodies have traveled long distances to sample the tamago sando, which nests cooked eggs and Kewpie mayonnaise between crustless bread and was called `pillows of love` by late food journalist Anthony Bourdain.
