>Do you guys think 7-11 will be able to replicate their japanese model into the USA?
Actual 7-11s are fewer and far between in recent decades in the US, so that alone should indicate a problem replicating some highest tier status. I think the issue is pairing with high priced or gimmicky gas stations like Mobil that has deceptive prices like "price with car wash" or "cash price only". Mobil can get bent. The other issue is poorly run never properly stocked stores. I can walk into a Wawa and the machines aren't broken, they're not out of small cups or lids, and the napkins are properly filled up. 7-11 has the same issue that bogs down Subway, franchisees who are there for a visa, not to make a profit or give good service.
