For most companies, a new CEO or an update on a major takeover bid would be enough big news for a month or two.
Seven & i Holdings, the parent company of 7-Eleven and the largest c-store company in the world, isn’t most companies.
The specter of Canadian retailer Alimentation Couche-Tard’s August offer to buy Seven & i has been looming for eight months, but the two companies’ back-and-forth has ramped up since the start of 2025.

Below is a selection of our coverage from the last three months on several of 7-Eleven’s initiatives as well as moves by its parent company.
