Expanding on an already extensive relationship, Cardtronics will soon serve the world's largest convenience store chain in both the United States and Canada.

Cardtronics' new portfolio of 7-Eleven Canada-located ATMs begins at a machine count of 472, includes expansion rights providing potential for growth and results in Cardtronics serving the world's largest convenience store chain on both sides of the U.S.-Canadian border, including thousands of 7-Eleven stores in the United States. Cardtronics expects to complete deployment of new Cardtronics-owned ATMs for 7-Eleven in Canada this summer.

"7-Eleven has the largest ATM network of any retailer in the United States, with Cardtronics providing ATM services to the vast majority of 7-Eleven ATMs," said Rick Updyke, president, U.S. Business Group, Cardtronics. "The opportunity to grow our long-standing relationship internationally into Canada speaks to its mutually beneficial nature and the ability of Cardtronics ATMs to help attract customers to 7-Eleven stores."

Cardtronics first entered the Canadian marketplace with nearly 600 ATMs in late 2011 with its acquisition of Mr. Cash. Including its new portfolio of 7-Eleven Canada-located ATMs, the company's total ATM count in Canada has crossed the 1,000-machine milestone.

"The international expansion of our 7-Eleven relationship is a prime example of what Cardtronics' entry into Canada was all about," said Mike Clinard, president, Global Services, Cardtronics. "By acquiring Mr. Cash in 2011, Cardtronics established a strategic foothold in Canada and a platform to better serve our existing clients operating in both the United States and Canada. And beyond introducing our proven business model into Canada, the 7-Eleven expansion represents a swift return on Cardtronics' Mr. Cash investment."
