Activating the c-store digital performance layer
Convenience stores are a daily destination for loyal shoppers—nearly half of Gen Z and Millennials visit at least weekly. Yet CPG brands historically lacked verified offer infrastructure in this high-volume channel.
With 7-Eleven joining the Ibotta Performance Network, that layer is activated. Now, run verified, pay-per-sale promotions across 11,500+ locations from a single platform.

FAQ
How do digital offers work for shoppers inside 7-Eleven, Speedway, and Stripes?
Shoppers clip item-level offers natively within the 7-Eleven (7Rewards) or Speedway (Speedy Rewards) mobile apps prior to checkout. When they scan their loyalty account at checkout across 11,500+ store locations, verified purchases automatically post rewards directly to their wallet as 7-Eleven Cash or Speedy Rewards points.
What makes the convenience store audience unique?
Convenience stores have evolved into planned daily routine destinations, driven heavily by younger demographics. Nearly half of Gen Z (49%) and Millennials (48%) visit a c-store at least weekly, with 92% going inside specifically to purchase food and beverages.
How does the pay-per-sale model differ from traditional c-store promotions?
Unlike unmeasured promotional discounts or impression-based media, the Ibotta Performance Network operates on a pay-per-sale model. Brands only pay when a loyal shopper completes a verified, item-level purchase—ensuring every dollar of promotional spend is tied to a verified in-store sale.
Where does convenience digital activation have the biggest impact for CPG brands?
Convenience activations deliver maximum performance for high-velocity categories—including beverages, snacks, candy, and immediate need state products—as well as single-serve and fill-in pack formats. It provides CPG brands with a targeted surface to drive trial and capture incremental purchase occasions that complement, rather than compete with, existing grocery campaigns.
