7-Eleven Partners and Suppliers Shine at 2026 Awards Dinner

On Tuesday 12th May, 7-Eleven Australia celebrated its 2026 Awards Dinner, an opportunity to recognise the suppliers and partners who play a vital role in its success as the number one convenience retailer in Australia.

This year marks 50 years of 7-Eleven Australia making bold moves to lead the market and these awards help to recognise the importance of its partners and suppliers as part of that. Over 500 suppliers, partners and 7-Eleven leaders were in attendance to look back on the 12 months of incredible growth and celebrate suppliers and partners who have made a truly outstanding impact.

“The contribution that our partners and suppliers make is vital to our shared success and it’s great to be able to acknowledge and celebrate this together. Our partners and suppliers operate as an extension of our team, acting in true partnership. I’d like to personally thank not only our winners and award nominees, but everyone who contributes to helping us become the destination for easy, quality food and beverage, where every Australian can say 7-Eleven Australia is ‘My Convenient Neighbourhood Store’.
