# of Stores - The Answer

Yesterday I asked what company had the greatest number of stores worldwide.

Here is a list of some big time retailers and the number of stores they currently have:

Apple Computer: over 260

Home Depot: over 2,000

Target: over 3,000

CVS: over 6,500

Wal-Mart: over 7,000

Dunkin Donuts: over 8,000

Burger King: over 11,000

Starbucks: over 16,000

McDonald's : over 31,000 in 119 countries

And @ #1.....


7/11 Convenience Stores: over 32,000



Japan is 7-Eleven’s largest market, with more than 11,000 stores.

Second largest is the U.S. with over 6,000.

7-Eleven was founded in 1927 when a Southland Ice Company employee started selling convenience items outside the company, at an improvised storefront.


The name 7-Eleven has been in use since 1946.
