How 7-Eleven Helped Immigrants Build the American Dream
Update: 2026-01-02
Description
On this episode of Our American Stories, when Jim Keyes took the helm of 7-Eleven, he thought he was simply turning around a struggling convenience store chain. What he discovered instead was the human story behind the brand: a nationwide network of franchise owners, many of them immigrants, working long hours behind the counter while building businesses, supporting families, and living out the American Dream. Keyes shares how these entrepreneurs reshaped his understanding of leadership, capitalism, and what success really looks like in small businesses across America.
