7-11 in other countries are often owned by franchisee partner chains and groups. It's just that other countries seem to have better standards than the US. 7-11s in Japan, the UAE and in South East Asia are just much better maintained in general than the ones in the US. Often coupled is the fact that these countries often have strict enforcement, and if that's lacking, then a personal sense of responsibility from the owners to not stuff their customers.
