    • 3). Attend a meeting with a Seven Eleven franchise sales manager. After your application has been reviewed by the corporation and you meet their franchisee qualifications, a representative of Seven Eleven will contact you to set up a meeting.

It is a federal legal requirement that all franchisors must give and explain their franchise disclosure document to each prospective franchise buyer.

The second test will measure how well you understand their federal disclosure document, which was provided to you in the initial meeting.

    • 7). Sign the required Seven Eleven corporate contracts that will be provided to you by your franchise sales manager and pay the corporation franchise fees. The amount of the franchise fee will depend on your store location.
