The National Coalition of Associations of 7-Eleven Franchisees (NCASEF) is an independent trade association for 7-Eleven franchisees nationwide. It is NCASEF’s goal to represent the interests of franchisees to all parties, and to provide a forum for the exchange of information among franchisees, management, and our vendor partners. Originally founded in 1973 by 6 franchisees, NCASEF today consists of 44 Franchise Owner’s Associations (FOAs), located in the 30 states where 7-Eleven does business. Each regional FOA represents between 15 and 400 7-Eleven franchisee members who pay dues to their local association, and a portion of these dues supports National Coalition activities. Four times per year, each FOA sends two representatives, a president and a vice president, to National Coalition Board of Directors meetings, giving each owner’s association a voice on the National Board.
