PETITION: Joe DePinto, Return Our 7-Eleven Or Pay For It!

There’s a new petition going around demanding 7-Eleven CEO Joe DePinto either return the Patel family’s 7-Eleven franchise or pay for it.

The Patel family have owned and operated the 7-Eleven franchise in Riverside, California for 19 years. Recently, 7-Eleven seized the location from them claiming “excessive couponing” and forced the Patels to sign over the store despite asking for time to hire a qualified lawyer to represent them. The store seizure has sparked outrage in the community prompting public protests, a Facebook page and an appearance on the John & Ken Show on Los Angeles talk radio station KFI AM 640.

The petition can be found on Unhappy Franchisee.
