Direct answer: The latest widely reported closures were in 2024, when 7-Eleven said it would shutter about 444 underperforming North American stores; more recent headlines in 2026 indicate ongoing portfolio optimization with hundreds of closures planned in the year, including tens to hundreds of stores in different updates. If you’d like, I can pull the most recent verifiable articles and summarize them with dates and store counts.
