DePinto, 43, is returning to 7-Eleven from GameStop Corp., where he has been president since March. Prior to that, he was 7-Eleven's vice president of operations. DePinto has also held positions at Thornton Quick Cafe & Market and PepsiCo.
7-Eleven operates and licenses about 29,000 convenience stores worldwide; about 5,800 of them are in North America. At the beginning of this month, Tokyo-based Seven-Eleven Japan Co., a former licensee of the chain, acquired it for $1.2 billion and took it private.
Meanwhile, the company's US headquarters will anchor a $100-million mixed-use project in Downtown Dallas. In April, the corporation signed a 15-year lease, with a trio of five-year options, for about 300,000 sf in the 22-story One Arts Plaza, which broke ground earlier this year.
The convenience store retailer's headquarters for more than two decades now fills about 400,000 sf of the 1.2-million-sf Cityplace Center at 2711 N. Haskell Ave. 7-Eleven sold the building last year to Prentiss Properties Trust of Dallas for $124 million.
