Ooh, I love 7 ELEVEN

I think Taiwan is the fourth biggest market for 7 11 (after Japan, USA and Thailand). Taiwanese people really love their 7 11.

Go 7 ELEVEN

Other countries may have more 711s than Taiwan, but in terms of number of possible customers per store, Taiwan has them beat easily.

According to wiki, Taiwan is host to MORE THAN FOUR THOUSAND branches/stores of 7-11 as of December 31, 2006 (making them the fourth biggest 7-11 market in the world by location count). That's around 8-9 square kilometers per store

Taiwanese people really love their 7-11 stores......and with more than four thousand locations, they are everywhere. This proves it:


In this case, the 7-11 stores shown here are like a strong glimmer of light amidst the darkness

P.S.
A bit of trivia:
Uni-President Corporation/President Chain Store Corporation (the one in-charge of all 7-11 stores in Taiwan) is now a majority stakeholder of Philippine Seven Corporation (the franchise holder of 7-11 in the Philippines). Hehe long live the 7 ELEVEN empire!!!!!!!!

Hehe.........but they already exist (somehow) in Taiwan. It's just that they exist under the name of the Japanese parent company



Familymart in Taiwan also has a strong presence.......but their location network is just half of what 7-11 has over there (i.e. Familymart Taiwan only has 2000 stores as of year 2009)

It's only in South Korea I think that FamilyMart has more than twice the number of 7-11 stores (in the whole of South Korea).
