The Philippine Seven Corporation (PSC), which holds the exclusive license for 7-Eleven in the Philippines, has achieved a significant milestone by inaugurating its 4000th store in Newport District, Pasay City.

On February 29, 1984, PSC launched its inaugural 7-Eleven store at the bustling intersection of EDSA and Kamias Road in Metro Manila. The store’s eye-catching orange, green, and red exterior immediately captured the attention of passersby amid the urban commotion. What initially started as a humble retail location swiftly evolved into an integral part of daily routines, with the expression “Tara, 7-Eleven tayo!” gaining widespread popularity as an invitation for a spontaneous visit to pick up a snack or beverage.
In 2024, 40 years have passed since its inception, and PSC has experienced remarkable growth, now operating 4000 stores across the Philippines. The company continues to uphold the founding principles articulated by Mr. Vicente T. Paterno, ensuring that it remains the reliable and trustworthy neighbor for Filipinos, as envisioned by its late founder.

Mr. Paterno expresses his enthusiasm for continuing to serve their communities and eagerly anticipates the future.

Alongside the inauguration of the 4000th store in Newport, PSC eagerly anticipates the grand opening of a new store in Angeles City, Pampanga, on October 15.
This particular branch is part of PSC’s ongoing efforts to grow its 21 To Go chicken and Cafe Reserve brands. In addition to offering enhanced store amenities and spacious dining areas, this location is committed to sustainable practices by harnessing renewable energy through the use of solar panels. This initiative reflects PSC’s dedication to creating more environmentally friendly and sustainable store operations.
As 7-Eleven marks its 40th anniversary, it acknowledges the numerous occasions and relationships formed within its extensive network of stores. Whether it’s a quick Slurpee stop or satisfying late-night snacks, 7-Eleven continues to be a reliable presence in Filipinos’ everyday lives, offering convenience intertwined with a comforting sense of familiarity.
