“We are committed to investing in southern California through new store development, remodeling existing locations and creating more franchise and other business opportunities,” said Dan Porter, 7-Eleven vice president of real estate and new store development.


The company said that it has hired CB Richard Ellis Group, to serve as its exclusive brokerage firm in Southern California, focused on assisting 7-Eleven in expanding its market share.  


 “7-Eleven wants to quickly identify new locations and take advantage of opportunities throughout the region.  CB Richard Ellis’ extensive network and broker contacts will be important to our success as we enter a period of rapid, new-store expansion,” Porter added.
