This event marks 40 years of PSC being a beloved part of Filipino life. From its modest beginnings, 7-Eleven has become a go-to spot for many Filipinos, offering convenience and comfort every day.
A Journey of Four Decades
The story of 7-Eleven in the Philippines began on February 29, 1984, with the opening of its first store at the busy intersection of EDSA and Kamias Road in Metro Manila. With its bright orange, green, and red colors, the store quickly caught the attention of passersby. What started as a small outlet soon grew into a beloved part of daily life, with the catchy phrase "Tara, 7-Eleven tayo!" becoming a common invitation for a quick snack or drink.
Fast forward to 2024, and PSC has proudly expanded to 4000 stores across the country. Their commitment to "being the Filipinos' neighbor you can count on"—a motto from their late founder, Mr. Vicente T. Paterno—continues to ring true today.
Leadership and Commitment
Mr. Jose Victor Paterno, the current President and CEO of PSC, carries on the legacy of his father. He expresses his pride in reaching this milestone: "Celebrating 40 years in the Philippines and opening our 4000th store is a significant achievement for us. It underscores our commitment to delivering convenience and exceptional service. We're excited to keep serving our communities and look forward to the future." The family's dedication has played a key role in the brand's growth and success over the years.
