It’s safe to say 7-Eleven has undergone a significant glow-up lately, and there are a few up for grabs around the country.
Particularly in major capital cities, it feels like there’s a 7-Eleven on every street corner. While its fuel station counterparts are rarer, one can’t deny the transformation the Japanese-owned giant has had.
The fuel and convenience chain now offers quality coffee, sushi and onigiri, sandwiches, snacks and yes – Slurpees. Motorists can also lock in their fuel price via the app – a handy feature as oil prices soar.
Every seventh logged purchase gets a free bonus snack, and app holders also get a free birthday donut.

The retailer is Australia’s number-one ranked convenience chain, with more than 760 stories nationally; the Australian arm was recently acquired for $1.71 billion by its parent 7-Eleven International.
Many locations are leased back to the head office, with annual rental growth largely locked in at 3 to 3.5% per year, ensuring steady returns, and long leases.
The brand maintains, repairs and replaces all fuel tanks and equipment.
So, let’s dive in to some of the locations for sale around Australia.
Victoria
One standout location sits in the heart of Richmond, just a stone’s throw to the CBD and MCG, on 86 Church Street.
Offered by CBRE’s Jamie Perlinger and David Napoleone, the site enjoys high footfall and visibility in one of Melbourne’s most popular postcodes.
It’s been a Richmond mainstay since 1999, and has lease options extending to December 2034.
Mr Perlinger said convenience retail continues to perform strongly with yields sharpening and demand from a wide range of buyers remaining robust.
“This is exactly the type of asset investors are chasing right now – a globally backed tenant on a long lease in the heart of inner Melbourne,” he said.
The property will go to auction on 1 April.

Outside of Geelong, there’s also a 7-Eleven for sale at 3 Enterprise Way in Waurn Ponds – a popular stop for drivers and bikers alike on the way to the Great Ocean Road.
It’s offered by CBRE in Melbourne and has a 12-year lease to 2037 in place, plus options.
It was built just last year in 2025, which CBRE says can maximise depreciation benefits and stamp duty savings.
Buttressing the service station is a Starbucks and Guzman Y Gomez.
Net income is forecast to exceed approximately $448,000 plus GST.
The Waurn Ponds site is for sale via private treaty.
New South Wales
In NSW, there’s 214 Wollombi Road in Cessnock, allowing you to stock up on fuel and snacks on the way to the Hunter Valley.
Or maybe stop off for coffee after a mighty Cessnock Goannas rugby league game.

The site is offered by CBRE NSW’s Kieran Bourke.
It currently has a 15-year lease to the head office, plus options to 2041.
Queensland
In the Sunshine State there’s quite a few 7-Eleven sites for sale, many situated in Brisbane growth corridors.
Perhaps most notable is 357 Brisbane Street in West Ipswich, which also plays host to a joint Oporto.
This makes the decision between a few onigiris or a Triple Bondi meal rather tough.

It’s offered by Stonebridge Property Group in Brisbane.
Outside of Ipswich, there’s a 7-Eleven site for sale at 130 Ash Street in Flinders View, offered again by CBRE in Brisbane.
On this one there’s a 10-year lease with options to 2050.
It’s in a prime location in the catchment areas of Ipswich Grammar and Ipswich Girls’ Grammar, plus it adjoins a 3,243 sqm shopping centre.
Skipping to the northside of Brisbane now, there’s a 7-Eleven site at 1001-1003 South Pine Road in Everton Hills, offered by you guessed it – CBRE Brisbane.
This one has lease options extending out to 2049.

Hammerich’s Coffee (The Coffee Club) is also part of the deal.
Hopping over to the Bayside-Eastern suburbs, and you’ll see that 689 New Cleveland Road in Gumdale is for sale.
It currently boasts a net income of more than $433,000 plus GST.
It’s offered by Elders Commercial Brisbane and has lease options to 2044, and is for sale via expressions of interest.

The fuel transition: Why fuel stations have long-term investment legs
Ray White Research has identified fuel stations as being an important asset class in transitioning away from fossil fuels.
“This convergence of soaring fuel costs, rapid EV adoption and residential charging constraints has fundamentally altered the investment thesis for service station assets,” head of research Vanessa Rader said.
“Far from facing obsolescence in an electric future, these properties have emerged as critical dual-purpose infrastructure, and the transaction market reflected that confidence.”
Fuel stations sales volume reached $867.9 million across 175 properties in 2025, a 16.5% increase from 2024 – just over 85% were private investors.
Capitalisation rates averaged 6% though Ray White observed cap rates anywhere from 4% to 9%.

Ms Rader said the fuel stations that will do better in the future will be ones that offer casual dining and snacks.
“Investors increasingly value service stations not merely as fuel retail sites but as strategically located properties anchored by quality QSR [quick service restaurant] tenants,” she said.
“The presence of established QSR operators like McDonald’s, KFC, Hungry Jack’s and major coffee chains alongside fuel retail has become a key value driver in service station transactions.”
She also said despite high fuel prices and EV adoption looking like drags on the sector, fuel stations have a crucial role to play in the electrification of vehicles.
“The longer dwell times associated with electric vehicle charging, typically 20 to 40 minutes compared to five minutes for fuel stops, create enhanced opportunities for QSR, coffee and convenience retail,” Ms Rader said.
