The 7-Eleven Franchise Owners Association of Chicagoland, or FOAC, is the country's largest regional franchise owner's organization, with nearly 300 members.

Formed by Illinois and Indiana 7-Eleven franchisees in 1980, FOAC has provided support and assistance to many 7-Eleven franchisees for more than 28 years.

Whether you're a new or an experienced franchisee, we invite you to join the FOAC, an organization run by and for franchisees. We hold regular meetings involving all levels of 7-Eleven management as well as vendors to discuss issues, promotions and new ideas. You'll have the opportunity to meet other franchisees, exchange information and build your business.

Membership in FOAC is basically free! The cost is $5 per month per store.

Other benefits:

  • A discounted workers compensation program, available to all members, enables you to save an estimated $400 per store.
  • Frequent communication keeps you informed. FOAC's monthly newsletter is filled with important and interesting articles about our business.


  • Access to FOAC Legal Services and information is available to members.
  • FOAC members receive invitations to exciting events, including general meetings, parties, educational events, trade shows, and the FOAC charity golf outing.
  • Through FOAC, members support worthwhile charities that help our communities and strengthen the 7-Eleven brand name community image.
