7-Eleven, which is headquartered in Dallas, is looking to sublease some of the locations. Bids are due Nov. 1. The locations will be sold through a “buy one, some or all” process and without convenience store branding, according to NRC , the company 7-Eleven is using to facilitate the transactions.
