This is the debate we heard all the time in the states. Not about 7-11 though but about walmart.
I'm ambivalent about 7-11 here. On the one hand, I don't think its a good thing that they are pretty much the only game in town. Monopolies are not good.
On the other hand (and obviously its related) 7-11 have pretty good service. Their lines are never that long, they are always open, they do the inventory thing well...its just that they seem to have a bias against anything remotely healthy.
