7-Eleven will work with its suppliers toward a goal of sourcing only cage-free eggs by 2025, based on available supply for all stores in the US and Canada.
"7-Eleven cares about the treatment of animals and switching to cage-free eggs demonstrates our concern," said Jesus Delgado-Jenkins, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer for 7-Eleven. "We believe that it is becoming important to our customers for us to serve more humanely-sourced eggs."
7 Eleven, Inc. invented the convenience store industry and is the largest convenience retailer in the world. Based in Irving, Texas, 7 Eleven operates, franchises and licenses more than 10,700 stores in the United States and Canada.
