7-Eleven’s U.S. operations are exploring a shift toward in-house supply chain management as rising inflation pressures costs, potentially altering the company’s long-standing reliance on third-party logistics providers. The move could signal a broader strategy to tighten control over inventory and distribution amid economic challenges. Industry analysts suggest such a change may impact efficiency but could offer greater flexibility in pricing and stock availability. The decision comes as retailers increasingly reassess their supply chains to mitigate financial strain.
