Why aren't there 7-ELEVEN in Jacksonville Florida?

Question

They are everywhere on teh east coast, but I've neevr seen one in Jax, and I've been here for 9 years. Does anyone know the real erason why?

Answer 1

7-Elevens are franchises, so an individual would have to make the decision to speak with the 7-Eleven corporation about opening a 7-Eleven in Florida, and then that individual would have to invest money and actually open the store themselves. Also, there may be local laws or zoning issues in Jacksonville that have discouraged 7-Eleven or entreprenuers from opening a store there.
