Couche-Tard's Failed Bid for Seven & i Sparks Debate Over Japan
Save

The bid was audacious from the start. 7-Eleven convenience stores have one of Japan's most recognizable brands and a takeover would have been the largest by a foreign entity in the country's history. Moreover, the founding Ito family were so opposed to the deal that they turned to one of their archrivals to try and block it.
