We know how hard you work to make your store profitable, and we work very hard at keeping your insurance costs as low as possible. The biggest part of your insurance premium covers loss expense �–when losses go up, premiums go up.
Did you know�…..
Robberies are on the rise! Make sure you and your staff are clear on security procedures. Maybe a monthly review makes sense?
Over 75% of franchisee claim expense is related to slip and falls, both inside and outside of the store. Make sure your floors are dry, and remove ice from your walkways.
Reporting claims quickly helps reduce the cost. On average, we receive more than 30% of franchisee claims two weeks or more after they occur. Report your claims as soon as possible so we can start to work them immediately.
Help us help you. The better we control losses, the lower your cost of workers�’ compensation insurance!

The contest runs through Friday, May 16, which happens to be National Pizza Party Day. Pizza for Life Sweepstakes entry forms are available on the 7-Eleven smartphone app. The app is available for download via the App Store or Google Play.
To enter, guests need to click on the “What’s in Store” calendar tab, then the ‘gimmepizza’ icon to fill in their name and email address on the pop-up entry form. Entrants must be at least 18 years old to participate and can enter once a day.
After the entry is completed, an option appears on screen to share the sweeps information on Twitter or Facebook with the hashtag #GIMMEPIZZA4LIFE. The prize value is $10,500, and the winner will be notified by the end of May.
“Pizza is popular with our guests, because it tastes so good and is a great value,” said Laura Gordon, 7-Eleven vice president of marketing and brand innovation. “There are no coupons and no limited time offers,” she adds. “Just large hot triple cheese pizzas for $5.55 each. The only better deal is if you happen to win the Pizza for Life sweepstakes.”
As an added incentive, customers purchasing any size can or bottle of carbonated soft drinks made by Coca-Cola, Pepsi or Dr Pepper/Seven-Up will get $1 off the already value-priced Pepperoni and Triple Cheese pizzas. Be sure to share this news with your guests and let them know about the Pizza for Life giveaway!
