7-Eleven has continued its investment into regional Western Australia, with the opening of 7-Eleven Dalyellup.
7-Eleven Dalyellup is the fourth store to open in the Bunbury area, with three stores opening in the last six weeks, and the fifth store in the South West.
Nick Maddox, 7-Eleven Area Lead South, said the company’s growth in the state provides career opportunities as well as jobs when the stores are built and fitted out.
“Our team in Western Australia now includes approximately 600 people, with quite a number of the team growing in their careers with us through development and internal promotions. Our team in the South West is approximately 50 people.
“We are incredibly proud of our multi-million dollar investment in Western Australia which will see us continue to look for new opportunities with landlords and developers to open stores in the right locations to serve local communities.”
Since 2014, when the store launched its first store in Western Australia, the company has invested over $55 million into the state and has no signs of slowing down as the brand looks to develop its network to meet consumer needs in the years ahead.
Jocelin Lawson, who started the team at Busselton, is moving across to Dalyellup to lead the team of ten.
“Our new Dalyellup store will be open 24/7 with daily deliveries so our customers can enjoy our sandwiches and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts delivered daily. We’ll have hot pastries, snacks and treats, as well as our freshly ground Fairtrade Certified coffee, Slurpee including Slurpee No Sugar and the 7-Eleven Smoothies and Frappés.”
