Believe it or not, a question 2Bangkok.com gets very often is "how many 7-Elevens are there in Thailand?" Astonishing stats from an article on 7-Eleven:
| Year | Number of stores |
| 2003 | 2,300 (300 new stores to open this year) |
| 2004 | 2,600 |
| 2005 | 3,000 |
| 2008 | 5,000 outlets (up from earlier forecasts of 3,000 stores) |
