I don't even think 7/11s sell sushi for one haha, but it's a convenience store where it's mostly for people to buy a packaged snack like chips or candy and a drink on a commute and the hot food you can buy is like hot dogs that are sitting all day on rollers under a heat lamp. The joke is I guess about how food from there has a reputation for not being that fresh, and sushi is a food that you want to serve as fresh as you can.

I'm not really sure why there's such a widespread thing of Indian immigrants owning convenience stores in the US, but it seems pretty common. It's more just South Asians in general and not Indians specifically, I know a Pakistani family that own a local store, but I guess a lot of Americans probably don't know or care about the difference.
