Another 7-Eleven has closed in Vancouver
Following the closures of 7-Eleven locations in West Vancouver and at 33rd Avenue and Knight Street, the convenience store chain has recently closed its Yaletown location.
While an official closure announcement has yet to be shared by the company for the 1093 Homer St. location, the windows have since been boarded up, and the location is now listed as “Permanently Closed” on Google.
We learned in 2024 that 7-Eleven had plans to shutter over 400 locations across North America; however, we couldn’t get confirmation on how many Canadian or Vancouver stores would be impacted by the decision to scale down. Earlier this year, some reports suggested that the chain plans on closing even more stores.
Along with closing some locations, the brand will focus on opening larger and more âfood-focusedâ spots to cut costs and improve margins.
Several other locations across Metro Vancouver closed over the past two years, including one on Canada Way near Edmonds and another on Rumble Street.

Many shared on the Vancouver subreddit news of the closure and how much they would miss the spot.
“Nooooooo. That place is across my therapist’s office, and I sometimes go there post-session for a slurpee. They also have the best slurpee selections. So sad,” said one person on Reddit.
“This place is always so busy!!” added another.
“I knew it when I went a few days ago and sooo many empty shelves and almost everything 50% off. Sad, I really liked the staff, they dealt with some shit, but we’re always friendly. And that location always had consistent business,” shared a third.
