7-Eleven opened its first store in Cairns, Queensland last Tuesday (27 June) with a team of 18.
This investment is part of the retailer’s focus on providing regional Australians access to career opportunities, and to the same choice and convenience that is available in metropolitan areas. That focus is expected to see 7-Eleven continue to grow in regional Queensland in the next few years.
7-Eleven Retail Area Lead North Jeff Yerbury says the retailer is really excited to be joining the community in Cairns by making an investment that will create jobs and help drive economic growth for the area.
“Our investment and network growth will provide locals the chance to grow in their careers as we expand. The opportunity is there also for those who might be looking to shift into our industry from other fields,” he says.
“The team members we recruit will be provided with extensive training to deliver an excellent customer experience so previous work history in the petrol and convenience industry isn’t a requirement.”
Early last month, as part of its regional investment, 7-Eleven opened its first store in Gympie, Queensland.
