The store in Bathurst Road - which was listed as a venue of concern between 7am and 3.15pm on Saturday, August 21 - reopened on Friday following an intense clean and other measures.
"To support our franchisee in Orange, and to ensure that the Orange community can access food, fuel and other essentials, in addition to deep cleans, and appropriate COVIDSafe practices, members of the 7-Eleven Australia corporate store team worked to reopen 7-Eleven Orange (Bathurst Road) and 7-Eleven Orange North starting August 27," a spokeswoman for the company said.
"While it's not possible to support 24/7 trade as normal, the store will be open from 6am to 6pm every day manned by members of our corporate store team until the franchisee and their team are safely able to return to work."
The spokeswoman added that the Molong Road store currently remains shut due to staff shortages.
